Thank you for that information, and it explains quite a lot.
I have purchased a set of documents to Luftwaffe Flugzeugfuhrer Oberfeldwebel Willi Kuhns who flew (initially at least) with III./KG54. The seller of the documents alluded that he had carrried out research on this man and that he was made a POW on 06-June-1944, having being shot down attacking the allied invasion fleet while serving in that unit.
It appears he located a 'Kuhn' and took it as read. I now have a gap in the research as I was hoping to pin him to a unit at that stage of the war, still I now know his research was far from thorough!
Thanks again.
Regards Richard.
