Re: Ergänzungs Jagdgruppe West
Ergänzungs-Jagdgruppe West wasn't formed until the end of January/beginning of February 1942 (at Cazaux/SW France), according to Prien in his JG 1/11 history on page 1665. It is first listed in the Gen.Qu.(6.Abt.) Verlustmeldungen on 12.02.42 when a Bf 109 E-7 belly landed at Cazaux due to engine trouble and was rated 60% damaged.

Your uncle must have been in one of the Ergänzungs-Verbände of JG 2 or JG 26 that preceeded Erg.JGr. West.
