Hazed, Ecke,
Thanks for the info- lots of good stuff in those links. Gonna take me a while to go through it all, but I find this stuff very intriguing.

I wonder if you guys, or anyone for that matter, know how I might go about finding any record of german pilots in the LW. my friend's great uncle was a ju-88 gunner/crewman, and saw action on both the Russian and African fronts. He passed  away a few years back, and we've been trying to put together the pieces of his story. we have just one good story on him thus far, which I will post later if I can confirm any of the details. anyway, if you know where i might find information on pilots, like a roster or duty assignment of some sort, that would also be greatly appreciated. Oh, if it helps, his name was Gerhard (Gerhardt?) Glaser, and he lived in Berlin until about 1938-39, which, IIRC, was when he enlisted. The family was falsely notified of his death when his 88 was shot down over the Med, but he continued to serve until the end of the war. He, i believe, lived in germany until his death, but I think he has some children living in the US or Canada. I'll post more info if I can get ahold of his brother.

got to go, thanks again for the info.
