Looking for abstracts to von Rohden collection at NARS in the 1960's

[Richard T. Eger]

Dear All,

It's a slow slog going through and trying to find the correct descriptor for each of the 2 dozen von Rohden documents I have. One of the ones I worked on today (4376-1214) deals with the order setting up a special Me 262 unit under Gen. Galland. The order is dated 10.2.45 and is signed by v. Greiff.

It is but a single page, so I transcribed the text, then made an attempt to translate it:

Transcribed text:

"1.) Die durch Umgliederung der IV./JG 54 in eine Me 262 - Jagdgruppe (II./JG 7) freiwerdende 4. Staffel ist geschlossen Gen.Lt. Galland zur Aufstellung einer unter seiner Führung stehenden und dem JG 7 anzugleidernen Jagdstaffel Me 262 zur Verfügung zu stellen.

2.) Organisationsbefehl ergeht durch Gen.Qu.2.Abt."

Rough translation of text:

"1.) By order to organize IV./JG 54 into an Me 262 - Jagdgruppe (II./JG 7) released 4. Staffel is closed Gen.Lt. Galland for establishing a standing under his leadership and the JG 7 to organize Jagdstaffel Me 262 to provide.

2.) Organization order is issued by Gen.Qu.2.Abt."

I used quite a few resources to do the translation, but I'm not happy with the roughness of the first section. Yes, I can get the gist of it, but it would be nicer to have a cleaner translation to go with the document.

Anyone want to give it a try?

Regards,
Richard
