Me 410 top ace
Hi Michael
Yes, it certainly is a discrepancy. Welcome to the wonderful world of Luftwaffe research! All sources that I have seen state that the Geschwaderstab of ZG 26 was formed on 13 October 1943. However, in the microfilms there appear four claims credited to members of the Geschwaderstab of ZG 26 (two by Leutnant Rudolf Dassow and Major Hans Boehm-Tettelbach on 8 October 1943 and two more by this latter individual on 9 October 1943 and 10 October 1943) before this date. Interestingly, the Luftwaffe Officer Career Summaries by deZeng and Stankey list Boehm-Tettelbach as taking up the position of Geschwaderkommodore of ZG 26 in August 1943.
Horrido!
