JG JG 2 Staffelkapitäne During the Battle of Britain
I am trying to establish the names and dates of JG 2 Staffelkapitäne during the Battle of Britain period and have the following conflicts for three Staffen from two sources: Prien - Jagdfiegerverbände Teil 4/I, and deZeng/Stankey - Luftwaffe Officer Career Summaries.
1./JG 2 Oblt Bertam - 16.06.40 - 24.09.40 (Prien) Oblt Mader - 24.09.40 - 26.05.41 (Prien) Oblt Reifferscheidt - 24.09.40 - date? (deZeng/Stankey) 6./JG 2 Oblt Liesendahl - 09.09.40 - 21.06.41 (Prien) Oblt Philipp - 15.10.40 - date? (deZeng/Stankey) 8./JG 2 Hptm Winterfeldt - 26.06.40 - 31.07.40 (Prien) Oblt Metz - 01.08.40 - 06.09.40 (Prien) Oblt Stolle - 07.09.40 - 21.06.41 (Prien) Oblt Falting - date? - 18.10.40 (deZeng/Stankey) The begin and end dates for Prien span 26.06.40 to 21.06.41 (the dates for Teil 4/I) and are not necessarily the correct begin and end dates for the respective Staffelkapitäne. |

Re: JG JG 2 Staffelkapitäne During the Battle of Britain
Hermann Reifferscheidt was probably St Fhr. According to him he had little combat experience even though he was an experienced pilot.
Liesendahl had been wounded in May 1940 and either took command of 6./JG 2 on 9 Sep or 15 Oct 40; he was still in command when wounded on 10 Jul 41 after which Rudorffer took command. I do not have Falting as a St Kap |

Thanks Chris, after your earlier recommendation, I now have Prien Jagdfliegerverbände Teil 4/I and II, both at a reasonable price via Abe Books -- very useful.
