Leutnant Berthold Gerber 1/KG200
 

I am looking for any help in information to this pilot who served in this unit.
Also where they were in 1943/45.

Thank you in advance

I don't think there was a 1./KG 200 before February 1944, so prior to that you'd probably be looking at one of its forerunners, e.g. 2./Versuchsverband Ob.d.L. The name Gerber doesn't feature in the index of the Smith/Creek book on the Versuchsverband or in the Gellermann book on KG 200. (The Thomas/Ketley book on KG 200 doesn't have an index of names).

Hi was this squadron still active in early 1945.

Re: Leutnant Berthold Gerber 1/KG200
 

It was. No mention of any officer with that name in the Officers' Careers site

He was a leutnant in 1944 and 1945 I have three of his award documents.
His pilots award, and iron cross 2nd class and bomber clasp in gold.

What is the date on the earliest award document? Can you read the name of the person who signed it?

Re: Leutnant Berthold Gerber 1/KG200
 

His Iron cross 1st class was signed by a Generaloberst on the 6th marz 1945.

And his clasp in gold was signed by oberst and geschwaderkommodore on the 3rd january 1945.

And hiis pilots award signed on the 12 marz 1943 by general der flieger.
