    What is: 1st Flieger Ergänzung Gruppe (See) "BV-138-B1"

    Fellow collectors and researchers:

    I am trying to piece together some information about a former crewman of HSK STIER. After getting rescued I believe he was assigned in Nov 1942 to the Luftwaffe's 1st Flieger Ergänzung Gruppe (See). (Specifically: BV-138-B1 as a Flight Observer.)

    I essentially know nothing about the Luftwaffe. Can anybody provide me information about the 1st Flieger Ergänzung Gruppe (See) such as where assigned, missions, aircraft...etc. etc...

    Then what does the factoid: "BV-138-B1" mean?

    Thanks so much in advance for any assistance.

    Joe

    Here are some details for Flieger Ergänzung Gruppe (See)...
    http://www.ww2.dk/air/seefl/flerg.html

    As stated in that link - 1./Fl.Erg.Gr.(See) with Do 18, He 115 and later BV138

    I wouldn't be surprised if BV-138-B1 refers to the BV-138 flying boat with the B1 variant entering service in late 1940...

      Wow! An answer in less than 30 minutes, with links and information that proved to be very helpful!

      I was searching, but didn't really come up with anything useful.

      Thank you so much!

        Hi Joe,

        That is interesting. Was he one of the flight crew on Stier? Pilot?

          Hans:

          (sorry for the delay -- I don't make enough time to always log-on to WAF!)

          Yes. I was working on information about the former Flight Officer/Observer aboard Hilfskreuzer STIER.

          It is amazing how turning over one small piece of information fits into my database to help fill in gaps of information or starts a big cascade of finding other pieces. My HSK crew database is a huge detective story inside of a big jigsaw puzzle, but after 25 years it has come a long, long, long way. Finding tiny pieces of information like this is so very important!

          All the Best!

          Joe
