Re: want to find out about a JG26 officer...
Jim
He was appointed Staffelkapitan of 1.Erg/JG26 on 29 Dec 41. This became 11/JG1 on 27 Jan 42 which in turn became 8/JG5 in March 1942.
Claim #17 12-Feb-42 Spitfire over the Channel while (Oblt) Staffelkapitan 11/JG1 - source Prien's JFV series Volume 7 - note that Prien uses 'B' at the end of each claim to designate that he has evidence that the particular claim was confirmed. With this claim, there is no 'B' thus it may or may not have been confirmed! (Prein also uses n.b. to designate a claim which was rejected and not included in the personal count)
I still have a gap in Segatz record for 1943 which I suspect is when he claimed #31 - #33
