Re: Me 109 G-6 Wnr 20518 lost on 17 of August 1943 over Belgium
Hmmm... strange beast this unit. If it isn't just a few freak errors in the report system.
The latter part of 1944 definitely saw a unit with this name, I have numerous Ju 88 losses recorded for it.
The three losses recorded in 1943 are quite strange though, and the unit does not appear on any form of strength report of the Luftwaffe, until 31.10.1944. In the Vortrag for the strength report for this date, the unit is mentioned under name changes (umbenannt):
I./N.J.G. 7 in IV./N.J.G.2
and the unit appear in the strength reports with a strength of 43 Ju 88G and 46 crew (39 aircraft and 30 crews Einsatzbereit)
There are two aircraft losses recorded for the unit in June 1944 also, but I do believe these also to be wrong...
Anyone else with comments?

Andreas B
