Re: L. Keller, I/JG3 1940/41.

Hi all,

more on JG 3 Kellers:
I translated the book Heinz Sannemann - Ein Jagdfliegerleben (by Breuer & Waiss) to Finnish language this year.

On page 140 it is stated Ofw Keller was the witness for Sannemann's 19. Abschuss on 19 October 1941. The witness statement says: "Since Ofw Keller was seriously wounded on his next mission on 19 Oct 1941, he could not give a statement."
Signed Dahl, Oblt and Adjutant.

In the II/JG 3 Udet in WW II by Prien & Stemmer it is said that Ofw. Helmuth Keller from 6./JG 3 was wounded in air combat near Chaplinka on 19 Oct 1941. His plane was damaged 30 % and it was Bf 109 F-4, Wnr 7157.

So apparently there were two Kellers in JG 3, Lothar and Helmuth, but not in I/JG 3.
