Re: 1/ZG 76 < > 3/NJG 1

Hello Chris,

Though it is well known (G.Aders, Geschichte der deutsche Nachtjagd etc.) that in September 1940 the 1/ZG 76 (Hansen) was used to form the new 3/NJG 1, the fact that in the days after the creation of I.NJG 1, pilots from I.ZG 76 were already listed to have joined the I.NJG 1, is quite new for me.

Since 'your' I.ZG 76 and my 'I.NJG 1' have so strong family ties, I will search the dates available from the I.NJG 1 perspective which could help you to fill in the last days of good old I.ZG 76. I do have an unpublished authentic history about I.NJG 1, written during the war, which is quite revealing about the first two years of this unit.

Best wishes, Marcel
