RK-Träger at Dijon / 16-19 December 1941
Dear all,
Is there any record of a Staffel or Kampfgeschwader that was stationed at DIJON (France), between 16-19 December 1941 and that has, at that time, on RK-träger amongst them? Tried to find names, but got no joy. It seems to be a Kampfgeschader (maybe KG 55). Baumgartner |

The IV./KG 55 was based there from spring 1941 until May 1944.

Adriano-abut vague without rank, unit or aircraft type. He could have been just passing through with such a limited time span.

Chris, indeed a most vague starting of my part. Sorry...
This is the front image (close on RK-Träger and most amazing "moustache" - Galland Style - I have seen on a LW Officer on his side). Me too, I believe this may be someone from IV/KG 55, but do not know who...(so far). You can see too, that the back of the picture do confirm the Dates I mentioned (16-19 December 1941) Maybe some of you may identify the RK-träger...from memory and some initial checking at sites, I was so far unable to give him a name.

Certainly looks a bit like Karbe but he did not join IV./KG 55 until Jan/Feb 42
