Hi guys
I noticed that Hauptmann Helmut Mertens is listed as having served as Gruppenkommandeur of JGr Süd in the list that Lino has created and kindly shared with us. This information is also included in Obermaier which states that he was appointed to this position in September 1944 and later served with III./EJG 1 presumably as Gruppenkommandeur. However, on
http://www.ww2.dk/air/jagd/jgrsud.htm nor on
http://www.ww2.dk/air/jagd/ejg1.htm do I see him listed as Gruppenkommandeur of either unit. Any thoughts?
Horrido!
