Who were CO's of the above mentioned units?? =============================================== The very first aviation unit of eastern people within the Luftwaffe was: I have found a different Eastern flying-unit within the Luftwaffe. At least Major Filatow, Hauptmann Ripušinskij, Leutnant Pljuščew were pilots in the first ever eastern flying squadron from end of August 1942 and was active till February 1943. Major Filatow acted as squadron leader. This squadron was found in Osinowka/Osintorf in the near of Orša. Filatow/Filatov ???? Ripušinskij/Ripushinsky ????? Pljuščew(-Wlasenko), Boris P. was later personal Aide-de-Camp of GenMjr (ROA) Mal'cew ==== Any informations on this unit or about the officers ================================================== ==== MfG Michi |

Re: ostvölkische Einheiten/eastern units of the Luftwaffe....
Hello!
Estonian-manned Sonderstaffel Buschmann started patrolling Gulf of Finland with PTO-4 planes from March 11th, 1942. This was signalled also to Finnish Air Force to avoid "friendly fire" incidents. PTO-4 was Estonian built and designed two-seater monoplane trainer. See: http://www.hot.ee/relvaleht/pto-4.jpg http://www.hot.ee/relvaleht/pto-4_1.jpg The photos of PTO-4 SB+AD linked above are very likely taken early spring 1942. EDIT direct link to the first photo does not seem to work. When the page appears click on the left frame text "lennusalga lennukid" (planes of the lennusalk) Regards, Kari PS I think most of Estonians would be insulted if you called them "Eastern" people. Culturally Estonia is part of West, predominantly influenced by Germans which were for centuries the ruling class. |
