According to Holm, I./KG 51 was operating under: first 3.Fl.Div. and later II.Jagdkorps.
Is there any information in those Ultra messages about this 3.Fl.Div. and his relation to I. and II./KG 51?

About all that I remember seeing on Fl.Div. 3 is that it was going to take over a number of units and that within a couple of days that order was cancelled. The units under Hallensleben varied over time and ended up as just NSG 1 and NSG 2. From memory, KG 51 was operating under II. Jagdkorps by about the time of the Ardennes offensive. Since I reading Ultra for information on the NSG units, I didn't take much notice of KG 51 though.
