III./JG27 question

[Kutscha]

In Dec 1944 III./JG27 was equipped with the Me109K-4 but have come across a web site that says the unit switched to the Me109G-10. When did this change of a/c occur?

Does anyone have a copy of OKL, GdJ-Grp. Qu-, Br. B. Nr. 1561/45 g. Kdos, from 20 March 1945 that they can post?

Hello Kutscha

I do not have the specific document that you are asking for so I can not help you there but I can add that looking at the III./JG 27 loss list shows that all losses recorded from mid-October 1944 to the end of April 1945 were Bf 109 K-4 variants with the notable exception of a single Bf 109 G-14/AS lost on 26 December 1944. Perhaps a change was planned but no Bf 109 G-10 appears on the list of losses that I am aware of. I hope this helps.

Horrido!

Thank you very much Leo. It certainly helps in confirming my suspicion the the web master is doctoring what he presents on his web site.

Hi,

III/JG27 received already in late october the first Bf 109K-4, in november they had a total of 65 K-4, with 26 new aircraft shipped during the month and other 35 received in december, no G-10 model at all.
