III./ZG 26 > EKdo 262 > Kdo Nowotny question
Hello Evgeny

My understanding from reading the book is that 8. and 9./ZG 26 were absorbed into EKdo 262 in August 1944. Kdo Nowotny was established with only two Staffeln although a third was planned under the command of Oberleutnant Eder but never formed. Eder took command of one of the two existing Staffels after Oberleutnant Bley was killed in a take-off accident on 28 October and later became Gruppenkommandeur following the death on 8 November of Major Nowotny.

Horrido!

Leo
