What a waste of time this forum is!

waste of time?

I am sure that if any of those 500 people had answers, they would tell you.

You are asking for history of something where very little is known.

Not nice thing to say about the forum, which has a long and proud history of assisting the Luftwaffe enthusiast with their plethora of queries. If you are unhappy with the level of response to your specific query, perhaps you can try your luck elsewhere.

Sorry, I didn't mean to insult the forum, just getting really frustrated with my research which has hit a dead end.

For what is worth, I am quite positive that I have seen a series of photos from this particular event in one of Prien, Stemmer and others series of books entitled JFV der Deutschen Luftwaffe 1934-1945, Volume 9/II or 9/III. If any of the forum members can check it, there should be the answer to your query.

Nice one Schirmmutze. Maybe you need to do what most others on this forum have done. Spent countless hours and money on research and then you'll discover the true meaning of frustration.

Expand your search beyond the triple W.

So in future keep your frustration to yourself, understood?

Reference is made to Jochen Prien's book entitled Messerschmitt Bf 109 F, G and K series - An Illustrated Study, page 64. "Major Gollob was the Kommodore of JG 77 in the summer of 1942, but from August he flew with JG 52 after three Gruppen of his Geschwader were widely scattered after the battle of Sevastopol, seeing the action between the central and southern sector of the eastern front, as well as in Sicily. Here he stands beside "Chevron 2", a G-2 of the Gruppenstab of III./JG 52, inspecting the consequence of an aerial battle (source: Petrick)."

The photos appear in JFV der Deutschen Luftwaffe 1934-1945, Volume 9/II pp 384-386
