Re: Jagdverband Andres, April 1942

As for "Gefechtsverband Andres", I do not recognize it. I suspect that this is merely an unofficial term. This is possibly related to:

ANDRES, Werner.
01.07.38 Oblt., appt Staka 4./JG 137.
01.11.38 appt Staka 4./JG 231.
01.05.39 appt Staka 1./JG 3 (to 31.01.40).
06.02.40 Hptm., appt Kdr. II./JG 27 (to 04.09.40).
09.06.40 Hptm. and Kdr. II./JG 27, unhurt in crash landing at Mondidier after combat with GC I/3.
08.08.40 WIA – shot down by a fighter and crashed off the Isle of Wight.
01.08.41 Hptm., appt Kdr. III./JG 3 (to 12.05.42).
28.08.41 injured in accident while taking off from Fp. Uman.
01.42 Maj., (on temporary duty?) in Stab/Gen.d.Jagdflieger (Ausb.Offz.).
23.05.42 Maj., appt Kdr. Erg.JGr. Ost (to 31.01.43).
01.02.43 Maj., appt Kommodore der Ergänzungsjagdgruppen (to 03.43).
04 43 Maj., appt Kdr. JGr. Ost (to 30.06.43).
01.07.43 Obstlt., appt Kommodore der Ergänzungsjagdgruppen (to 30.11.44).
02.11.44 Obstlt., appt Kommodore Erg.JG 2 (to 25.04.45).
Credited with 5 victories.

This fellow seems to have been high ranking enough to be in charge of a temporary grouping of units.

The above does not really answer your question but it may help.
