Hello Kaczmarek,

Thank you! This confuses the situation somewhat, because at this point 3 Gruppen of JG 301 have been mentioned. For III./JG 301, Michael Holm's rather dated basing list seems to show only "19.2.45 - 10.4.45 Sachau" as possibly relevant to operations in the East. Can you comment as to the Gruppe's actual basing and operations at this time?

Regards,

Paul Thompson
