[John Manrho]

As Eric mentioned we (John Manrho and Axel urbanke) are working on a JG 6 book, but this will take at least till early 2007 to appear. Planned to be published in German but who knows it might be published in english later too.

Anybody seriously interested in JG 6 operations in January-May 1945 must buy the Luftflotte 6 KTB microfilms available at MA/BA Freiburg or PRO London. I also have seen loss lists circling in air war historian circles, mainly based on the work of Girbig or others gathering data from VLM and microfilms of material losses. Of course the research of Axel and me, wihich has much more data on losses from logbooks etc, will see the light in the JG 6 book....so you have to be patient if you want to wait for that. Strangely several losses, also KIA and WIA were not recorded in the VLM's or have been lost after the war.

We have found quite some new material but if anybody posseses JG 6 material, just let me know! If anybody has a specific question relating to JG 6, just let me know and I will try to answer it.

regards,

John.
