Operational detachments of II./SG 151 in 1945

[Schlageter]

Hello all,

after some very interesting earlier discussions concerning I./SG 151 with very helpful anwers I would like to ask some questions about II./SG 151 this time.

While II./SG 151 seems to have flown some missions at the Oder front in February 1945, the Gruppe was withdrawn to Ingolstadt-Manching to conduct the Panzerblitz training for all ground-attack pilots (source: Carlsen/Meyer's Die Flugzeugführer-Ausbildung der Deutschen Luftwaffe).

But according to other sources (Holm's website and Stankey/de Zeng's Dive Bomber and Ground Attack Units of the Luftwaffe) the 5./SG 151 and 6./SG 151 remained as operational detachments at the Eastern front until their disbandment in April 1945, leaving only the 4th Staffel in the training role!

• Were 5./SG 151 and 6./SG 151 equipped with Fw 190 Panzerblitz or the ground-attack version?

• Were they independant units or subordinated to another Schlachtgeschwader (5./SG 151 was at least temporary attached to I./SG 151 before the latter transferred to Grove)?

• Are there any aircraft or personnel losses known for the period?

• 5./SG 151 was based at Fürstenwalde but from which airfield did 6./SG 151 operate (apparently in the Luftflotte 6 area)?

I know these are very tricky questions about a little-researched unit but I appreciate every hint and help on this subject!

Thank you all very much in advance!

Best regards

Michael
