The first Ar 234 Sonderkommando was Götz, commanded by Horst Götz and including Eric Sommer. This flew over Normandy in August 1944. In September the unit was expanded and changed its name to Sperling, Götz was still the commander. However in November a new Sonderkommando known as Hecht was set up at Biblis. It was commanded by Sommer (who was the only pilot). In January 1945 Hecht was supposed to merge with 1.(F)/100. The next stage was drawn out, but by middle of March Eric Sommer was the commander of Sonderkommando Sommer in Italy.
