Thanks for having checked for me, Carl!

It is known by Julius Meimberg that in late 1944 the experimented Staffelkapitäne of his II/JG53 had a turn-over as leaders of the missions (with Meimberg himself), so that they never flew together in the same mission (Rollwage, Hammer, Hocke/Seeger, and Meimberg). As you conclude, probably Hpt Hammer didn't fly on the dates I'm searching about, and other experimented pilots led these three missions (on december 16th it was Meimberg himself).

Cheers
