Hi all and Happy New Year!

Yes, family tree of JG 52 really seems confusing.

For what it is worth, please find attached a pic taken from the book by Hans Schreier: JG 52. Das erfolgreichste Jagdgeschwader des II. Weltkrieges".

Many years ago I made some notes based on the JG 52 book series by Niko Fast, please see below.I had the books from library, and I can't check any more. Anyway, both Schreier and Fast seem to suggest that old 6./JG 52 was made 7./JG 52, although the suggested time for the change seems to be different. I don't have Barbas books so I can't compare what they say.

Would be great if someone could bring the "final truth" to solve this issue.
