Re: Me 109 G-6 Wnr 20518 lost on 17 of August 1943 over Belgium

Hi All

I am obviously missing something here....

What was 12./NJG 2 and when was this and its parent unit (supposedly IV./NJG 2) formed? And why was it using Bf 109G?

1) Michael Balss does not list this loss at all, in any of his two books

2) Holm states the unit was formed in 10.44 from I./NJG 7

3) Rosch states it was formed in July 1943 and only LATER absorbed I./NJG 7

So, guys, what do you have on this unit? Was it formed FROM something and what was its purpose using 109's?? Competing unit to Herrmann and later JG 300 or is it just a training unit, but if so why the 109's?

Cheers
Stig
