Hi all,

I would need the names of Stakas K.G. 51 (Staffeln 1, 2 and 3) at the months April and May 1941.

Can any one help?

Here is what I abstracted from our officer database a couple of years ago. Its certainly not complete but it may help:

1./KG 51:
Staka:
Hptm. Dietrich Illgner (? - 03.05.41 KIA).

2./KG 51:
Staka:
Oblt. Klaus Haberlen (? - 08.40 - ?nlt 03.10.40).
Oblt./Hptm. Helmut Fuhrhop (DKG) (09.07.41 - nlt fall 1942).

3./KG 51:
Staka:
Maj. Otto Neuenfeld (? - 07.11.39 KIA).
Oblt. Heinz Unrau (1940 - nlt c.04.41).

Hi,

Oblt.Klaus Häberlen is wrong!He was Staka 2./K.G.51 from 25.12.1942 until 31.12.1943.

And your proof, Rene?
And your proof that he wasn't also Staka August to October 1940?

Hi Larry!

It´s from Häberlen´s autobiography " Davongekommen-Als Kampfflieger über den Fronten"(ISBN 3-925480-53-6, 2001).

https://ww2aircraft.net/forum/thread...0#post-1654363 found a bunch of pictures of him. But also he flew (at least) 300 mission on 17-04-43
