Luftwaffe expert needed.
Can anyone give me some info on three Luftwaffe aces -
Hermann Forster of JG27 Paul Forster of NJG 1 Josef Forster of NJG 2,3 I can't seem to find much about them online. Were any of them related? Any help would be appreciated. |

Sorry, all I could find was Hermann Foerster of JG 27 listed in Wikipedia, which you've probably seen. No other details about him there, and the other two were not listed. The German Bundesarchiv site might have additional information, but it would probably require extensive digging and researching. Where did you see Paul Foerster and Josef Foerster originally listed?

I know a little about all three, but not much. Paul Forster supposedly scored the Luftwaffe's first night victory, although I have seen another pilot also given credit.

Luftwaffe Archives Group.
As stated by the German Military Archives in Freiburg, almost all archives of the Luftwaffe of the Second World War were destroyed during Allied bombing operations; however, there is a private group addressing the issue of Luftwaffe archives from the Second World War and it goes by the acronym LWAG. They have a website at lwag.org and may be your best bet for information on your search. I hope it works out for you.

You can find a little about Paul and Hermann in various places. I just recently found a website called "The Kracker Luftwaffe Archive". It has a little info on all these guys,plus a couple other aces named Forster that I didn't even know about. This is probably all that can be found on most of them.
Are you sure that is Hermann's 109? Where did you get that picture? |
