Re: Seeking duty position on Geschwaderstab of JG3 of Oblt Willi Hopp, who was KiA 23.09.40 during the BoB
Update,
Through a direct communication, I've learned that Oblt Hopp's service number (EKM) was issued by 3./JG77, so he was probably serving there in March, 1940, when the new EKM numbers were issued. So now the next step is to figure out when Hopp left 3./JG77 and moved to the JG 3 Geschwaderstab. Does anyone have any information that would help tell me when that happened? As far as I can tell, Hopp did not score any victories with either I./JG77 or IV./JG51, so these don't provide any indication. His LW Officers Career Bio provides no help, other than to confirm that he was in Stab/JG3.
