[Andre Stewart]

Hi all,

Can anyone provide me with the Erkennungsmarke [identity disc nos.] of the following pilots who flew with I./ZG76 or the later II./NJG1 in the 1939-41 period:

- Hptm Gunther Reinecke [is it 53590/1 ??]
- Hptm Wolfgang Falck [should be 53592/1 but I have no way to verify this]
- Hptm Heinrich Graf von Stillfried
- Oblt Hans Jäger
- Oblt Gordon Gollob
- Lt Helmut Lent
- Lt Reinhold Eckhardt
- Lt Hans-Karl Kamp
- Obfw Herbert Schob
- Fw Leo Schuhmacher

Thanks in advance!

Hi John and Chris,

Thanks for your replies. Much appreciated.

To John, some interesting things from the numbers:

- Lent : obviously changed his EM when he bec StKap
- Eckhardt : seems to have spent some time in 1./ZG52 before moving to 3./ZG76.
- Kamp : kept his 3./ZG76 number thru most of his career, as this Staffel was assigned 53593.

Anyone know which units were assigned 60022 and 60932 [this 2nd one very likely an NJG unit]?

Thanks again!

60022 = Stabs-und Ergänzungs-Staffel/K.G. 54

60932 = 6./N.J.G. 1

Hi, with interest in Lt Reinhold Eckhardt serving with 3/ZG76, do we know what time period he moved to 3/ZG76 and how long he served with this unit.

Best regs,
Steve.
