I/ZG 76 & III/KG 51 Kriegstagebuch

[Chris Goss]

Does anyone have copies of or are aware of the above KTBs for 1939-40? I have 12 Aug 40 pages for III/KG 51 but that is all

Hi Chris,
Would you be able divulge details of a couple of losses from the III/KG51
ref 12.8.40, you say you have the Krg.buch for this day, wonder if you could add to the scant details i have!

JU88A 9K+LT W.Nr 5052 Do you have the crew listing / fate.
JU88A 9K+AT W.Nr 5042 As above
JU88A 9K+?? W.Nr ? Oblt Flegel, crew ?

Id be very grateful if you could help with any further details.

Regards,
Steve.

The KTB has no listing for 9K+LT on this day.
9K+AT/5042 was Lt Capesius/Uffz Kraus/Ogefr Knoth/SdFhr Engel and force-landed at Le Havre, Engel badly wounded
Flegel was from 6 Staffel, not III Gruppe but his crew was Oblt Hans-Joachim Flegel-+; Gefr Emil Rueckert-+, Gefr Reinald Rener-M, Uffz Josef Berghammer-M

Hi Chris,
Thanks for your reply which is very helpful.
In terms of 9K+LT which you say doesnt appear on the KTB entry for this day, i have the name Oblt Noelker + 3 others killed, attributed to this loss?
Is this any help.
Best Regs,
Steve.

Oblt Wilhelm Noelken was in 9K+AS/5063 from 8 Staffel

Hi Chris, sorry for the delay,
many thanks for the Noelken confirmation, dont know how ive gotten him listed under 9K+LT? it would appear that ive erased a previous name and scribbled his name down, under this listing!
As an a/c with the code letter A' would this be a staffelkapitan's a/c, or rather, would Noelken have been st.Kap of 8/KG51?

Best regs,
Steve.
