Re: Help to identify which unit this aircraft belonged to.

Just as an additional observation, I have seen a number of transpositions over time in various documents. For example: the lageberichte for A.O.K. 16 (NARA T312 R546) for 28.7.41 shows II./KG 77 as having 11 and III./KG 77 as also having 11 aircraft as einsatazbereit for 26.7.41. Where as RL 2 III/714 shows 14 aircraft einsatazbereit for II./KG77 and 11 aircraft available for III./KG 77 on the same day. Just read from the wrong line while typing ?

As for this topic the GQM line 1. above reads K.G. 26 but line 3. underneath reads K.G. 53. So there is a potential for transposition here as well. The accuracy of historical documents may just depend on how much or how little ersatz cafe the typist had that morning...;-)
