ID of unit in Soldbuch

[Eric Mill]

I'm not that familiar with LW units. Could someone please ID the unit in the red box. It's from a Soldbuch of a former airgunner.

Thanks

Hi Eric,
I'll take a stab
Looks like 2 group Jagdgeschwader 26, but if he's an air gunner maybe more likely 2 group zerstorergeschwader 26

airgunner

Thanks guys. ButJG 26 used bf 109 planes.......airgunner ?????

[Gerdan]

I only tried to identify the writing - irrespective of his funktion. From my point of view the first letter I prefer to read the letter "Z" not "J" but with the individual handwriting we often have some problems.

Thanks

Thanks Gerdan. A "z" for "Zerstörergeschwader 26" would be more suitable ....for his air-gunner qualification.

[Ian Jewison]

Doesn't look like a Z to me.....are there any other entries in the Soldbuch for the period he was that unit?

Also as it was Stabskompanie he was attached to rather than a Staffel then he could well have been used as ground crew anyway.

Regards,
Ian
