Re: Jagdgruppe Ost + Jagdgruppe West - 31 Dec 43
Dear Don,
beside parts of JGs 2 and 26 and the Einsatzteile of JGr. Ost und West another fighter unit was in action against this incursion - four Fw 190s of 1./SAGr. 128 ( aka Jagdkommando Brest ) scrambled at 11.20 hrs from Brest to intercept the Heavies but their mission was ill-fated, since one a/c crashed immediately after take off whereas the other three didn't make contact with the US bombers.
Then according to our sources JGr. Ost and West filed a total of 15 claims between them, JGr. Ost accounting for eight a/c shot down and one shot out of formation ( Herausschuss ), while the rest went to JGr. West.
Perhaps you can give me a PM ?
Kind regards
Jochen Prien
