Re: Looking for ANY and ALL information on Unit 11/NJG5 that my Grandfather Otto Karl Tillack was in.

Just found out that my Grandmother was an Air Signals Assistant. Would there be any record of this anywhere?

11th Staffell 11/NJG5

Does anyone know where i might be able to get a list of this Squadron?
I was also wondering since my Grandmother was ALSO in the Air Force in Germany where I might be able to find a list of people who served in the German Air Force Female Auxiliary. Air traffic signals. Guess they were known as the Lightning Girls.
Thanks in advance,
Char

A list of what? Kills, losses, aircraft, personnel? Your Grandmother would be a different matter as lists of who would have served with her would be almost impossible to ascertain after 70 years
Regards
Chris

Re: 11th Staffell 11/NJG5

I believe Peter Spoden served with 6./NJG5 - but it would depend on the time frame. He's a member here...might be something, might be nothing. Just a thought really - thousands must have gone through NJG5 over the years though..
