According to ww2.dk Grup's base was Libau (Latvia). But I don't have durable evedances that II./S.G.3 flew in Gumbinnen area in October.

Don't have concrete proves it was in East Prussia too till the end of October, but Larry DeZeng and Andrey Kuznetsov 10 years ago gave this information:
"Now became clear what III./SG4 relocated to East Prussia between 18. and 22.Oct.44 because, according to KTB HGr "Nord", on 23.Oct. only two Schlachtgruppen were in Courland (II. and III./SG3, without doubt)."

According to ww2.dk one staffel could be at Udetfeld (East Prussia). One more thing - Lieutenant Hans-Georg Lohmeyer was attached to what group, when he was missed two days before?

Re: Identifications of German victories over East Prussia in October 1944

Hello Zhekab,

Thanks for your help, i will consider the II/III/III STAB/SG3

According the death-card of Lohmeyer was attached to the 6 staffel of II/SG77. Then it's will be possible that this staffel was here or Lohmeyer was detached to an other unity. I'm no idear about that.

Udetfeld is in Poland (1000 far away East Prussia).

Udetfeld(POL)(a.k.a. Zendek, Shendek, Schendek)(50 28 35 N – 19 04 55 E)
General:airfield (Fliegerhorst) in Silesia 24 km N of Kattowitz (Katowice).History:
mainly used by the Luftwaffe as an evaluation and testing center.Surface and Dimensions:
1940 measured 1550 x 2000 meters with 3 runways of 1600 meters each.Infrastructure:
2 hangars and a separate repair hangar
