March 1945 (emergency fighter program)

I./JG 301 Ta 152
II./JG 301 Ta 152
III./JG 301 Ta 152 H

I & II were converting from Fw 190 A-9/R11 to Fw 190 D-9/R11 to Ta 152 while III was set to have the Ta 152 H.

I am not sure if I & II were to get the C model or H...

another question about these planes : do we now have a fair idea about the camo scheme of these planes ? I've seen it changing over the years from my first 1/72 model and its 74/75/76 scheme to guys actually saying that the upper surfaces were RLM 81/82 ...
when I built my trimaster model ten years ago they'd claim a mix of 81/82 on the fuselage and 75/82 on the wings ...

Actually, the document supplied by ju55dk says that the Stab Staffel of JG 301 and III.JG 301 are to be equipped with the Ta 152. I do not see II Gruppe as referenced.



Interestingly, a fuel requirements document from 19 March lists Stab, I, II, and III Gruppen of JG 301 as being equipped with the 190 A-9/R11 and IV Gruppe equipped with the 109G-10/R6.

Proofs of operational Tank 152 H of Stab./JG 301 wanted ? For the fun here two extracts from Ofw Jupp Keil's logbook:
- flight Nr.160 Ta 152 green 3 combat mission start Stendal on 10 April 1945 19.13 landing Sachau 20.45 duration 92 min "N. Braunschweig Luftkampf mit 15 Thunderbolt. 1 w. Abschuß".
- Flight Nr.163 Ta 152 green 1 combat mission start Hagenow on 17 april 1945 07.35 landing Stendal 08.45 duration 70 min "Tiefangriff Stendal".

Real documents are anyway better than dreams or speculation.

Thank you, Jean-Yves, for those two flight book extracts. You are right, "Real documents are anyway better than dreams or speculation." So, thank you again for sharing that information with us.

Re: TA-152 in JG 301 ?
 

According to "Jagdgeschwader 301/302 "Wilde Sau" In defense of the Reich with the Bf109, Fw190 and Ta152" By Willi Reschke there was a unit called "Erprobungskommando Ta152" led by Hauptman Stolle who flew Ta152H´s. Was this unit actually Stab JG11? I see that Hptm Bruno Stolle was the Gruppenkommandeure of I/JG11in this between 10.44 - 25.11.44, according to www.ww2.dk/air/jagd/jg11.htm. I guess however that the interesting part is where Hptm stolle served post -44 though...
