JG301 June-? 1944

Hi guys

Continuing the V-1 assault theme, I understand that I/JG301 was responsible for protecting the ski launch sites in the Pas de Calais area.

I note that two aircraft from this Gruppe landed in error at Manston on the night of 20-21 July, Ltn Prenzel and Fw Gromill both being taken prisoner. Were they involved in this duty at the time of their misfortune? Did I/JG301 claim any victories in defence of the ski sites? Were their other losses?

Cheers
Brian
