Re: Seeking info on Oblt Egon Troha's service with III./JG3 during 1940, and Adjutants of III./JG3 in 1940.
John,
I have most the EKM numbers for JG3 pilots during 1939-40, but I didn't know the date this was assigned to Rech. I assumed that being #3 it would have been issued about March, 1940, but that is obviously not your information.
I have only these EKMs for the III./JG3 Gruppenstab:
57215/1 (Unknown but possibly Kienitz?)
57215/2 Hptm Rudolf Bieber (possible Gr 1a - Hptm beim Stab?). Don't know date this was assigned.
57216/3 Oblt Horst Rech. I believe was a T.O.
57216.4 Oblt Egon Troha, Adj (don't know date this was assigned)
And the rest with Gruppenstab numbers during 1940 unknown.
Can you add any #s during 1940? Bieber is a problem as I don't know much about him, nor what date his Gruppenstab EKM was assigned.
I also now carry Göttmann's successor as Gr Adj as Oblt Herbert Eggers, who apparently took over during late Sept (possibly someone else acting in the position since Göttmann's death on 07.09.40), and continued in the position into the spring of 1941. This covers the Adj position, except for anyone temporarily in the position between Göttmann and Eggers.
Regards,
