Alteno b. Luckau end of Jan. 45 (the group received his first Ta 152)
Sachau b. Gardelegen mid of Feb. 45
End of March 45 ending my notes, he came into a hospital to the end of war.
The main opponents for the J.G. 301 and J.G. 300 was both the Russian and the Allied Air Forces.

Hello Kaczmarek,
Thank you, a very interesting list. Having looked at the locations of the various airfields, I think the Gruppe was probably concentrating on fighting the Soviets until mid-February. That would match the timing of the peak of the Soviet winter offensive. The summary of my ideas is below:
Alteno b. Luckau – 51.8665379N 13.7803691E; NW of Cottbus – possibly Eastern front
Sagan/Schlesien – 51.6120474N 15.327301E; SW of Zielona Gora, ex-Grünberg – probably Eastern Front
Sachau b. Gardelegen – 52.4735108N 11.2606322E, NW of Magdeburg – probably Western front
Regards,
Paul Thompson
