Ju 88 "Ace" Werner Baumbach

Post by M. Reising »

Hello everyone!

This is my first time to this forum.

I have recently been reading about Werner Baumbach and his exploits during World War II. I would love to build, paint and detail - with appropriate aircraft code letters - one of his Ju 88 bombers.

Can anyone tell me what particular "Staffel" that he was assigned to
during 1940 to mid 1942? What aircraft codes of Ju 88's he flew?

I do know that he was Kommandeur of III/Kampfgeschwader 30 from
July to December of 1942, and that the code for KG 30 was "4D".

I have his own "Life and Death of the Luftwaffe" and many other sources, but none go into this particular detail.

I have seen a couple of sources that show the tail of a Ju 88, supposedly his, coded "A6 + HH", but believe that this was not his aircraft. "A6" was
code of a Reconaissance Unit.

Many thanks in advance,

M. Reising
