Hello George,
III.KG 3 operated with V-1´s from Venlo, Gilze-Rijen and Eindhoven since the beginning of July 1944. After 5 September 1944 they moved to Münster-Handorf for the same operations. Meanwhile, parts of KG 53 trained for V-1 drop flights too.
In October III.KG 3 was renamed I.KG 53 and formed with ´old´ KG 53 Gruppen the Kampfgeschwader 53 for V-1 missions.
Hoping that this helps, best wishes for 2005!
