Re: 325th FG vs Ju-52

Feels to me that the date 31 Jan 1944 is correct.
I don't believe both the Luftwaffe and the USAAF have made a date mistake.
With regard to 2./LG 1 I have no specific base for it on the date in question, but according to Peter Taghon
the Gruppe itself (I./LG 1) was based at Aviano between 23 Jan and 10 March 1944. As far as I can see
he doesn't mention Varel at any time for the whole Geschwader.
I./LG 1 had abandoned Eleusis in Greece for Italy.
The aircraft itself was on a "Werkstattflug" which I take meaning a testflight, rather than transit flight, made
after some repairs, hence our "Prüfmeister" onboard.
