Re: Fw. Hans Richter I/NAGr.1 24-12-1944
Postscript:
I have just discovered that 1./NAGr. 1 did not begin receiving Me 262s until February 1945, so you evidently have some bad information there, or at least it would seem so.
1./NAGr. 1
(Unit Code Q1+)
Formation. (November 1944)
Formed on or about 22 November 1944 at Langendiebach/Hesse (ex-1.(F)/Aufkl.Gr. 121) and equipped with Messerschmitt Bf 109G single-seat reconnaissance aircraft. Plans changed and it was decided to convert the Staffel to the Me 262 jet as will be seen below.[1]
Germany. (December 1944 - May 1945)
10 December 1944: Staffel in transfer from Langendiebach to Herzogenaurach.
10 January 1945: at Herzogenaurach.
5 February 1945: Herzogenaurach under Stab/NAGr. 1.
February 1945: began receiving Messerschmitt Me 262 jets at Herzogenaurach.
