Re: 6st Staffel II/KG53 loss 30.03.42
Thanks for the info Brian!
Interesting that Hptm Trüber was the St. Kptn at that time. The book by Kiehl on KG53 doesn't mention him at all, but also doesn't report any St. Kptn between 03.12.1941 (Zahn) and 12.05.1942 (Thierig). Do you also happen to know the kennung A1+?P Kind regards, Thomas |

Hello Brian and Thomas,
As I don't have Kiehl's book (yet). I wonder if you could provide me with the other St.Kap. of 6./KG 53? Tia, Dirk Belgium |

Hi Brian,
there are more gaps in the timeline. Between Zöllner and Bautz is even a gap of almost 14 months! If someone has names to fill these gaps, let us know. Regards, Thomas |

Morning Doug,
Thx for given more information about the St.Kap. of 6./KG 53. There seems to be some lacking of names in the pre 10/10/40 period? Regards, Dirk |
