John Manrho will become famous soon enough
Maj. Späte
Yep, Maj. Späte was Gruppenkommandeur of IV./JG 54 at that time and he tells some of the story in that book. However, he did not lead IV./JG 54 into battle on 21.9.1944 and the book mixes up some missions and can only be verified by checking the existing KTB of 3. JD (RL8/177 Freiburg). The mission on 21.9.44 was lead by a Leutnant.
