This is your guy

>Fuchs, Adalbert<O></O>
Unteroffizier<O></O>
3./Kampf-Geschwader 27<O></O>

18757 belonged to I Gruppe KG 27, the 3. as you can see is his staffel.

He was a bordfunker (wireless operator) and got his ehrenpokal 19.Oct.42

Lg.P means luftgaupostamt

So is 18757 the aircraft number or what? Was KG 27 flying Heinkels, Dorniers, of Ju-88s? Just curious.

Guess you don't come over and visit us at the documents and research forums to often then?

18757 is the unit's fieldpost number

KG 27 flew the He111

I noticed that there's only one person with that name listed on the German wargraves database and he happens to be an unteroffizier.

That's in Hungary.

Viet Scherzer published a book on Luftwaffe DKiG holders thought it's little more than a list giving name, rank, unit and date of award.

The best person to ask for more info is Larry de Zeng, one of the research forum moderators. He is 'Mr.Luftwaffe' and if anyone could tell you more i think it would be him.
