Re: Oblt. Erich Jung, 5./NJG 2
It appears that Tom Semenza's comments are well founded. From our files we have:
JUNG, Rolf. 26.06.41? Oblt., appt Staka 2./NJG 2 (to 01.11.41). 01.11.41 Hptm., appt Kdr. I./NJG 2 (to 12.43) 01.42 Hptm., Staka 4./NJG 2. 07.09.42 Hptm., awarded Ehrenpokal. 31.08.44 Maj., appt Kdr. III./NJG 101.
JUNG, Rudolf. (DOB: 10.03.12). 08.40 Staka 2./JG 2. 01.12.41 Hptm., appt Kdr. I./NJG 2 (to 01.12.43). 01.03.43 Kdr. I./NJG 2, promo to Maj. 07.02.44 appt Ia op ½. Jagddivision. 31.08.44 Maj., appt Kdr. III./NJG 101 (to 19.10.44). 20.10.44 Maj., appt Kdr. I./NJG 101 (to 15.03.45).
It appears that our Erich Jung data applies to one fellow who apparently had nothing to do with the night fighters. The Kracker material does appear to be a combination of Rolf and Rudolf Jung. A compilation of commanders of NJG 2 would have revealed this. I am currently attempting to do just that and may post the results later.
