List of pilots of II./JG3 as of 22.5.43

[Andrey Kuznetsov]

Hello,

In Die Jagdfliegerverbände 12-1 Einsatz im Osten 4Feb-31Dec43 by J.Prien, P.Rodeike, W.Bock s.71 there is a list of pilots of II./JG3 as of 22.5.43 without reference to the source. Where did this info come from, and does something similar occur in other volumes?

Best regards,
Andrey

Hello Ed,

I have this book. There is no such list.

By the order of 6.Dec.39, the units were to report, among other things, the following:
Soll- und Iststärken sind einschliesslich fliegenden Personals nur noch zu dem vom RLM festgesetzten Termin einzureichen. Dieser Meldung ist gleichzeitig eine namentliche Liste der Flugzeugführer - einschliesslich Offiziere - mit Vor- und Familiennamen und Dienststelle beizufügen, aus der die Flugzeugführer- und Blindflugscheine ersichtlich sind.

I was hoping it was from the reports like mentioned above. I wonder if such reports were written right up to the end of the war? And nothing survived the war?

Best regards,
Andrey

So, it looks like none of these treasures are left. That's sad.
