Not sure about JG 2 as Bühligen included u/c in his total of 112, he had at least 99 confirmed, maximum of 105 confirmed. Mayer had 102 confirmed.

JG 7 =Stehle with 4
JG 11 = Hans-Heinrich Koenig with 24, Hackl 22+(likely leader)
JG 76 Von Aspern with 8
JG 300 Bauer, Zwesken and Bretschneider each with 21
JG 301 Kurt Welter with 17

Then we have training units. I think that these would attack heavy bombers if they came their way?

JGr.Ost Karlheinz Cordes with 2
JGr.west Hermann Hintzen and Schmid each with 2
JGr.Sud Horst Rippert and Rainer Müller-Haagen with 6 each.
JG 104 Eberhard Bock with 3

Other oddities:-

Kdo.262 Helmut Baudach and Alfred Schreiber with 2 each
Kdo.Nowotny Franz Schall with 5
JG 400 Siegfried Schubert with 3
Kdo.Hermann(at night) Friedrich-Karl Müller, Horst John and Kurt Roder with 3 each.
EGJ 2 Oskar-Heinz Bär
JG 200 Eduard Isken with 7
ZKG30 Peter Laufs with 4(presume twin engine fighters, day)
LG 2 Herbert Ihlefeld with 56
Jv44 Adolf Galland with 6
JG 50 Hermann Graf and Walter Grislawski each with 2.

I agree with you other listings. Joachim Müncheberg with 82 just misses out with Galland on 83 with JG 26.


Kind Regards

Hello Johannes,

thanks for your elaborate and intresting post !

To the others: this thread is not about the veracity of accepted claims. That issue really should be discussed in a separate thread.
