Thanks. The last possible 11 Staffel loss was a non-combat one on 22 Dec 44 and by Dec 44, they were operating Me 410s

The new IV./Z.G.26 came into existence during the summer and autumn of 1944.

17 July 1944 the Zerstörerstaffel 13.(Z)/J.G.5 was renamed 10./Z.G.26. The Staffel was located at Herdla airfield north of Bergen and had 1 Bf 110G-0,
13 Bf 110G-2, 1 Bf 110G-4 and 1 Ju 88C-6 on strength.

20 July 1944 The Bf 110 elements of Küstenstaffel Krim was transferred to Norway and renamed 12./Z.G.26 and lcoated at Gossen airfield. At the end of July 1944 the strength stood at 2 Bf 110F-2, 9 Bf 110G-2 and 2 Bf 110G-3.

05. September 1944 a new Gruppenstab for IV./Z.G.26 was formed by renaming the former Gruppenstab of Seeaufkl.Gruppe 125.

10 September 1944 the 11./Z.G.26 transferred with 17 Ju 88C-6 and was stationed at Örlandet airfield north-wast of Trondheim. In November 1944 the Staffel moved to Gardermoen airfield north of Oslo and began conversion from Ju 88C-6 to Me 410. This was completed by early January 1945 and the Staffel moved back to Örlandet were it remained until the end of the war.

On 23 February 1945 the IV./Z.G.26 was disbanded but it seems that 11._/Z.G.26 remained intact until May 1945. The crews of Stab, 10. and 12./Z.G.26 were transferred to Stavanger-Sola to form a new II./J.G.5.
