Re: Willi Elstermann
Hello all,
.. is it correct then that he also served a stint with Stab II./ZG26 after his service with Stab 2. Jagddivision and before he joined JG6? Cheers, Theo

Re: Willi Elstermann
Correct. The first date I have him with II./ZG 26 as Gr.Kdr. is July 11th, 1944. Hptm. Günther Weyl was Gr.Kdr. II./ZG 26 until July 6th 1944, so Hptm. Elstermann replaced him. Could be that he was already there in the beginning of July, but the first confirmed date (from documents) is July 11th. When II./ZG 26 became II./JG 6 on August 4th 1944, Hptm. Elstermann became Gr. Kdr. II./JG 6.

Re: Willi Elstermann
I fully understand, John. I guess that I will make the 2200 km drive to Freiburg and check his personel file. I will send you a copy of the file when I am coming home
