Re: Walter Oesau

Post No.9 refers. Just a brief note to say thank you to Red Baroness for the interesting background info on Oberst Walter Oesau's nickname.

It is well documented that Jagdgeschwader 3 received the honorary name Udet by order No. 1870 of 1 December 1941. Could someone perhaps shed some light on the order number, if any, and date when Jagdgeschwader 1 received the honorary name Oesau? I read many references on the subject, but none of them is specific in this respect.

Regards,
Sinisa
