Re: Did JG 23 exists?
Maybe interesting to make a quote from “The first and the last” of Adolf Galland, published by Bantam in 1978.
At pag. 249 we see: “For the sake of re-establishing order within the fighter arm we introduced a complete regrouping.
The 3rd Air Fleet was changed by Göring into the Air Force Command, West.
It now comprised the replenished 2nd, 26th, 27th, and 53rd Fighter Wings.
The 5th, 54th, 51st, and 52nd Fighter Wings were fighting at the Eastern front.
The 3rd Wing was added to the 300th and 301st Wings for the defense of the Reich.
My main desire was to create a new reserve. For this purpose I brought the 1st, 16th, 11th, and 17th Fighter Wings up
to strength and reformed the 4th, 76th, and 7th Fighter Wings.”
See also a previous entry of Larry of November 1st.
Horst, also there have been made mistakes. See the renaming of the first Ju 88 unit KG 25 into KG 30.
