Re: JG 301 mission on 17 Dec 44
Good evening Don !
As you mentioned, both dates don't seem to match up. When the Ardennes offensive was launched on Dec. 16th 1944, the Luftwaffe Fighter units had been rebuilt powerful to support this mission. There were many missions of Luftwaffe Figgter units on Sunday, December 17th 1944 in the Ardennes area. But only there !. The same on Dec. 23rd 1944. All in all, more tan 2,000 a/c of both sides were in the air, but mostly around the Ardennes and tactical targets relating to the Ardennes. There were missions in Southern Germany by 12th AF, but no around Hannover-Kassel. The date of Reschke's report must be checked, since Dec. 17th doesn't seem to be realistic as well as Dec. 23rd. All the best ! Horst Weber
