Re: Gruppenkommandeur III./SG3 on 12-Feb-1944 Question.
In our recent book "Dive-Bomber and Ground-Attack Units of the Luftwaffe" SG 3 is covered in Volume 2 (to be released March 2011) we note that there is contradictory information about who was the Kommandeur of III./SG 3 at the time in question. Our officer personnel career notes indicate that the Kommandeur at the time of 12.02.44 was:
Major Bernhard Hamester (DKG, RK) (31 December 1943 – 15 June 1944)
However Brütting and Obermaier indicate that it was:
Hptm. Eberhard Jacob (RK, DKG) (1 December 1943 - April 1944)
We cannot yet resolve this conflict. Perhaps someone out there has a source of new data or and insight to clear this up. At this point. Hamester is our best guess.
