Seeking full names and career info on three 4./JG51 pilots circa 04.40
Hello,
A roster of pilots and aircraft for 4./JG51 was captured in the diary of Lt. Johann Böhm who became a POW in England on 08.07.40. This lists 12 aircraft and 11 pilots. Eight of the pilot's full names and fixed service info with the Staffel can be determined from victory and loss info during 1940. However, three are not otherwise referenced with the unit in any source that I can determine: Uffz. FNU Blascyk, Uffz. FNU Bubenhofer and Uffz FNU Lebsanft (could this third one be a typographical error?). Related to this, does anyone know specifically when Erich Hohagen joined 4./JG51 (I know what his RKT bio says). Also, Fw Willi Gasthaus is not on this roster, and knowing the date he joined 4./JG51 would also be very helpful. It was before the beginning of the Western Campaign of 1940. This roster is undated, and I'm hoping that info about the three above people and when Hohagen joined the unit will help determine when it was drawn up. Thanks for any help here. |
