Re: L. Keller, I/JG3 1940/41.
According to the I./JG 3 KTB, 5 Sep 40 Ofw Keller near Calais after being hit in the engine but Jochen Prien says Oblt Keller; 11 Sep 40 Oblt Lothar Keller in both sources; 5 Oct 40 KTB Ofw Keller, nothing from Jochen. On page 175 of Jochen's Volume 4/I, there is a photo of Ofw Keller of 2./JG 3 after a crash-landing on 15 Aug 40 but on page 189 it says this is Fw Hans Ehlers of 2./JG 3. No mention of an Ofw Keller anywhere else. Lothar Keller was killed as you say by which time he had the RK and was Gr Kdr
