Bernhard Jope

Jope was Geschwaderkommodore KG(J) 30 until February 1945. Does somebody know exactly when and to which unit Jope was transferred in February 1945?

Thanks for help

Michal

Re: Bernhard Jope

According to our rather extensive but incomplete files, Jope was Kommodore of KG 30 from 17.10.44 to 23.11.44 then
Kommodore KG(J) 30 from 11.44 to 03.45

after that, no other unit associations are known.

Re: Bernhard Jope

Doug, that was a Mistel unit, was it not? BTW if you're in touch with my old buddy, Bob Gannon, say hi from Vince out west.

Re: Bernhard Jope

The unit was formed with the intention of becoming an Me 262 unit but this was soon changed to becoming a Mistel unit for ops on the eastern front. Operations were few and a virtually total failure. For what details are known, see our book "Bomber Units of the Luftwaffe", Volume 2.

Sorry, I don't know your friend Gannon.
