Nick, that's interesting. The Air Units info shows Raht was Kdr I./NJG2 from 13/5/44 to 8/5/45 based at Eindhoven and Chateaudun in May/June 1944. But then it also shows he was Kdr II./NJG4 from 20/5/44 to 22/6/44 based at Dijon and Coulommiers in that period.
Is it possible he commanded both units for a month? How does that work?

Peter, I think the one major fault in the source I quoted is as simple as this:
The appendix is simply titled "DISPOSITION OF NACHTJAGD JUNE 1944"
...Now let's not miss the fact that it says JUNE 1944 and not any specific date. Anything could happen in a month that consists of an entire 30 days, so your info AND my source could both be correct in that sense, if you catch my drift...

Still, once again I hope I have helped you at least close off a source (Boiten's Nachtjagd War Diaries) that you might not get to check outside of this forum
