Re: Found wreck

Dear Friends,

Wrack - Raum: Dolitz-Blumberg-Doberpool - Pommeren (probably for 80% MIA in 1945) ,

One note and example by the way:
Wolfgang Beer ( 31-01-1945 Bf 109 G-14 ; Werk 780 676 ; 4./JG 3 )was normally from 5 Staffel Jagd Geschwader 77 but was MIA as member of 4./JG3 - Because this is near area on the Pommeren I think it could be one of his collegues from JG77 . ( Source: http://www3.volksbund.de/mitmachaktionen/letzte_hoffnung2/detail.asp?id=758 )

next example:
Pilot Walter Brandt from JG77 in JG3 :

"...
On 10 February, the unit relocated to Pinnow near Kolberg in Pomerania (the same Airfiled as Rabeler Gunter -Pinnow). On 3 March 1945, Brandt destroyed 3 Russian tanks with bombs, strafed and set on fire 20 trucks and shot down two Russian Pe-2 twin-engine bombers and a LaGG-3 fighter. However, he was again shot down and wounded in aerial combat with a Russian Il-2 Sturmovik ground attack aircraft. He successfully managed a belly landing in his damaged Bf 109 G-14 (W.Nr. 464 278) near Augustwalde. Following the dissolution of I./JG 3 on 23 March 1945, Brandt was appointed Staffelkapitän of 7./JG 3. He held the post until the end of the war. ..."

Have You any information about members JG77 sent to units JG3 on the Pommeren in 1945 ???? (for example as Wolfgang Beer above)

This is only my personal remark - what do You think about it ?
As I checked list of side numbers with "red" colour and it was used by JG77.
See:
Examples:
01/04/45 Ofw. Bernhard
Brünjes 8./JG 77 Bf 109 G-14/AS
(787460)
red 7

09/02/45 Uffz. Josef
Neufels 10./JG 77 Bf 109 K-4
(332555)
red 5 Free chase,
near Bielitz / Schwarzwasser

21/01/45 Uffz. Anton
Brandl 11./JG 77 Bf 109 K-4
(332731)
red 2 Reason and area unknown
