The article makes use of a lot of new material that I've been researching over the last several months and among other things identifies the date that the first of the Kommando's jets arrived and the name of its pilot. It also makes a bit more sense of the sequence of orders and changes of mind in Germany that eventually led to Sommer getting the job. |
According to KTB G.d.A. Kdo. Sommer lost most of its material when the traintransport was attacked. It was then decided to send
Kdo. Götz to Italy, with Sommer as KdoFührer. The Kdo. Sommer returned to Versuchsverband OKL!
