Alfred Lindenberger - 28 September 1944

Hi natttuppen

Many thanks for your response. I had previously read that the Gruppenstab of II.(Sturm)/JG 300 used both green and blue tactical numbers but since I have read that on occasion he allegedly flew as wingman to Major Walter Dahl (102 victories, RK-EL) with the Geschwaderstab of JG 300 which was using blue tactical numbers in 1944 I was confused as to which unit did his aircraft belong to on that date. An example of the use of green tactical numbers by the Gruppenstab of II.(Sturm)/JG 300 would be when Major Kurd Peters (4 victories, DK-G), Gruppenkommandeur of II.(Sturm)/JG 300, was wounded and forced to bail out of his Fw 190 A-7 "Green 5" (W.Nr. 340 303) in aerial combat over Naumburg on 29 June 1944. Many thanks for your help.

Horrido!

Leo
