Olve,
Tony Woods' lists have him in 7./JG 5 from July 25, 1943 to June 17, 1944, claiming 10 victories in that period.

Frank.

Olve,

From the Girbig JG5 book it shows Ofhr Vollet wounded in combat 17-6-44 with 7/JG5, then between Oct 44 to April 45 as Ltn. and Kap. of the new 16/JG5. In April 45 he returned to Germany for training on the Me262, the book says he had 11 vic.
Uffz Heinz Kern is shown as 1 vic with III/JG5, there was also a Uffz.Alfred Kern of 7/JG5 shot down on 14-3-43 who died in Soviet captivity,

Regards
Brian Bines
