Re: II./JG 101
Chris
Larry is partly correct
Ausbildungsgruppe 112 which was the same as JG 112 became II./JG 101, but since it only had three Staffeln, they became 5. - 7./JG 101
JG 110 was formed (according to Carlsen/Meyer) from BFS 10 on 15 Oct 1943 followed by a II. Gruppe from Jagdlehrerüberprüfungsgruppe in Garz and the III. Gruppe from FFS B.36. If that is correct JG 110 had nothing to do with NJG 102.
Carlsen/Meyer give no indication that II./NJG 102 became anything else. All three staffeln are listed as in use up to 16 March 1945 at Copenhagen (Kastrup). If that is correct then II./NJG 102 could have had nothing to do with the formation of 8.-10./JG 101.
So then what was 8.-10./JG 101? According to Carlsen/Meyer there was an 8./JG 101 formed at Ingolstadt-Manching and that's it. Very little details seems to have survived, which leads me to a somewhat shaky conclusion it was either not formed at all (except on paper) or it was formed very low key.
I thereby think that Rosch is wrong and no 8.-10./JG 101 was formed from II./NJG 102 and that until any further proof that 8./JG 101 really existed, II./JG 101 consisted of only 5.-7. Staffeln. The Gruppe Stab and its three Staffeln were all based at Landau, so why would an 8. Staffel be based at Ingolstadt?
