As you see list is long and not updated so in this case H. Bock not exist on the above list.
Maybe sombody can add missing pilots.
By the way we had also another pilot with name 'Bock' :
http://falkeeins.blogspot.com/2010/0...2-and-8r8.html
"...Uffz. Peter Bock of 8./JG300 in front of his 'schwarze 2' Fw 190 A-8/R2 seen in early 1945. Note the Panzerplatte side armour, the outer wing Mk 108 cannon bulges and the armoured windshield quarter pane. Bock claimed a P-51 on 14 February 1945 over the Chemnitz-Leipzig-Dresden sector ..."
and
"... It should of course be born in mind that the 'R2' was the designation introducing the 'definitive' Sturm variant which entered service with IV.(Sturm)/ JG 3 during April/May 1944 when Sturmstaffel 1 was incorporated into the unit as 11./JG 3. II./JG 300 became a 'Sturmgruppe' some time in July 1944 ( the exact date is not known) while II./JG4 was not established until late July/ early August 1944 ..."
Look here and compare with link above :
http://robdebie.home.xs4all.nl/me163/pilots07.htm
"...
Although over 300 Me 163B's were produced (including a few Me 163-Cs with increased fuel), only 9 confirmed air victories were credited to JG 400 by the end of the war, for 14 Komets lost from all causes ( mainly crashes and accidents).
I./JG 400 was disbanded at Brandis in April 1945, while
II. Gruppe disbanded at
Husum. ..."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jagdgeschwader_400
see also this:
" ... Secondly, it is clear that Hauptmann Frömert was with the II. Gruppe of JG400. After training at Brandis, he went to Stargard, and then took part in the many relocations of II./JG400, to Bad Zwischenahn, Nordholz and finally Husum. Thirdly, the log identifies four code colors used on Komets: white, yellow, red and green. Red and green codes are quite rare it seems, the only other source listing them is Ransom's book about Brandis. ..."

it is very interesting that pilot
Hauptmann Frömert - ... went to Stargard, and then took part in the many relocations of II./JG400
they could fly here together near Stargard and Altdamm with Uffz. Peter Bock of 8./JG300 could be here in Pommeren in 1945 ????? IS it possible ?
Look pos. from 343:
