Hi Chris not wanting to be pedantic but Petzold flew with 3/ZG76 as Bordfunker to Ofw. Georg Fleischman , during the Polish Campaign of 9.39 and through till 2.1.40.

He did and that is the trouble of doing things from memory! 2 Jan 40 was when Petzold was wounded in combat and while in hospital (to 6 Sep 40), Fleischmann was killed with a new BF

Hi, could anybody please help with the usual loss detail for Fleischman and Petzold on 2.1.40. I do know they were flying Bf110 M8+GL this day.
Best regs,
Steve.

[Chris Goss]

+GL was their usual aircraft and yes they were flying it on 2 Jan 40-TO 1406 hrs, landing 1536 hrs

Thanks Chris, do you know what the comment says for this mission in Petzolds flugbuch. Something on the lines of 1 feindflug ????
Steve.

[Chris Goss]

Mission was Feindflug and in comments "Wounded on Feindflug-1 abschuss". His first was 1 Sep 39 but he stopped counting after Poland (18th was 25 Sep 39)

Hi Chris thank you for clarifying this, just couldn't determine the first part.
Kindest regs,
Steve.
