Hptm Gunther Weyl, II./ZG26

[Andre Stewart]

Hello everyone,

Some time ago there was a series of posts on Hptm Gunther Weyl, covering his later career (served as Gr Komm of II./ZG26, Feb-Jul 1944 and died 9 May 1945, killed by Czechs).

I was wondering if anyone has info on his early career / appointments. And what did he do from Jul 1944 until May 1945?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Dough.
Was he appointed kommandeur II/JG6 at the end of the war?
I have a note in my database but no source recordet unfortunately.

Found this photo captioned as Hptmn Günther Weyl, circa 1944.


Unable to confirm if this is actually him or whether this is correctly dated.


This source has Weyl with 1./ZG-101 from July 44 thru March 45.

I found both the above while researching the wartime history of Luftpark Illesheim (later Illesheim AAF/Stork Barracks).

The photo could possibly be Illesheim (hangar layout looks correct) but I'm looking into Memingen as ZG-101 was there from Mar 43 thru 12/44 and then Illesheim, 12/44 thru 3/45.
