Re: Ltn Käppler, JG 5
Werner Girbig's book on JG 5 gives the date of Ltn. Keppler's death ,while he was St.Kap. of 15/JG 5, as 5-4-1945. However another source gave it as 24th. March which tied up with the war cemetry date, I assume it was the same man . The JG 5 book also shows that Keppler had been St.Kap. of 12/JG 5 at some stage. Having checked again the chart of JG 5's organisation shows that 12 Staffel did become 15 Staffel when the JG 5's Gruppes added an additional staffel.
