Re: Ltn Käppler, JG 5
Thanks Olve... This document did help. Just a quick note: in my own sources II./JG 5 became a part of JG 4 on 16.10.44 rather than in 11.44.
At one time I had begun to do a database by giving Staffeln number (in creation order), and listing their various names:
Ex (fictionnal): staffel 36 was created on 1/1/38 as 1./JG 234, became 1./JG 1 in 1/1/39, 4./JG 77 in 10/7/40, 3./JG 5 in 2/2/42 and was disbanded in 1/3/45.
The idea being to treat each Staffel as independent units and see them like RAF squadrons changing of "Wing". This was supposed to allow me to follow pilots and not wondering why I had 3 pilots with the same name in 3 differend JG in one year, just because his staffel was just the same (but changed of designation 3 times in the same time).
I never went really far with this idea anyway.
