Spanish volunteers in Russia

I wonder if war diary of the Spanish volunteer fighter squadron or maybe it's pilots logbooks are preserved in some Spanish official organisation?

Kind regards,
Pawel Burchard

Re: Spanish volunteers in Russia

Thank you Tony, have you got this booklet? Could you tell me how detailed is the account on activities of the 4th Squadron (Fw 190s) in 1943?

Regards,
Pawel

I have this booklet and still available from Spain.

The text all in Spanish so I can't read a single word of it, however there is a lot on the Fw 190 and the all Escuadrilla, including the 4th , history of "La Operacion "Ciudadela", with photos, maps etc, The "Jefe" of the 4th was El Comandante Cuadra. There is a table with all the pilots of the 4th from July 1943 to "Ene" 1944, against the pilot names in the table are 1+5. 3+1 etc but no idea what this is all about as not in english, possibly the Fw 190 serials or "kills and damaged" as in some months there is a 0. There is also "vuelve a Espana" which I assume to mean returned to Spain
