Re: Identity Nachtjagd Staffel near Berlin late September 1940?
Hello Marcel and Gerhard,

Thank to you both for your valuable input, which has helped me to solve the mystery I think. The unpublished wartime 'Kriegs-Geschichte der I./Nachtjagdgeschwader 1' mentions on pages 22-23 that I./NJG1 was deployed to Gardelegen, a Kette of the Gruppe under command of Oblt. Kälber being simultaneously stationed at Wittstock, for the protection of Berlin in early October 1940. I must come to the conclusion that the OKW diarist did not correctly enter this in the OKW KTB; the date was not 26th September 1940 as he stated in the KTB but early October 1940, and the transfer did not concern a Staffel but a complete Gruppe..

Cheers, Theo
