Re: Jägerzuführungsstaffel
It seems to have been an effort to rebuild Gruppe West/Flugzeugüberführungsgeschwader 1 by replacing its inexperienced rookie pilots, who were losing and damaging too many fighters in landing crashes on rough French satellite airfields from 6 to 30 June 1944, with experienced pilots from the active front fighter units, in particular JG 1, JG 4 and JG 11. The P/W interrogation cited below has some information on it.*
*NARA WashDC, RG 242, T-971 roll 18; AFHRA Maxwell: decimal 512.619 British AirMin P/W interrogations, ADI(K) series, microfilm rolls A5400-05, interrogation ADI(K) 502/44).
20 Sep 44: Gruppe West ordered disbanded this date with 2. and 3. Staffel to be reassigned to Gruppe Süd. (see DEFE 3 ULTRA signal HP5997)
