Hi, Byron

With regards to the unit designation I have found the answer. In the Vortrag zum Einsatzbereitschaft der fliegenden Verbänden Stand: 10.5.1943 it is stated that the Stab Sturzkampfgeschwader 151 is to be formed in Agram under the command of Luftwaffenstab Kroatien. In addition, EFFECTIVE FROM 1.6.43 (in German ... mit Wirkung vom 1.6.43 ...), the Ergänzungsstaffeln of Sturzkampfgeschwader 1, 2, 3, 5, and 77 is renamed and reformed into I., II., III., IV. and V./Sturzkampfgeschwader 151, each with a Gruppenstab, 1. and 2. Staffel.

This was thus the last loss registered under the old unit designation, in fact happening on the day the unit changed designation, and could have been I guess reported with both designations.

This means that the information on Michael Holms page along with the source for your information should be updated, and that the renaming and reforming dates for these units changed to 1.6.43.

Regards,
Andreas B
