Hello,
Hptm.Fülbert ZINK (12.10.1914) Staka 2./JG 26, was a member of III.Gruppe JG 53 at the beginning of the war.
Please, does anyone know the Staffel number?
Thank you very much .

Tony-III./JG 53 was not formed until November 1939 & he doesn't figure in a photo I have of all the Gruppe officers at its formation.

Hi Chris,
Thank you for your answer.
My information comes from BA-MA Freiburg RL 10/269.
According to this source, Lt.ZINK was a member of III.Gruppe JG 53 from 18.9.39 to 8.1.1940.
Regards Tony

Should have checked Prien. 18 Sep 39 does accord with the start of the forming of III./JG 53 but no mention of Zink I'm afraid

From 9.1.1940 Lt.Fülbert ZINK as a member of STAB JG 53.
But I do not know his photograph or any information from this period.
All I know is that May 14, 1940 received E.K. 2nd class.
