Hi,
i have updated the page:

http://www.u-air.info/www/uair/uair....d_200?OpenForm

Now it is in a table like view, and new info is included.
Any comments and more info welcome.

Hi guys

I noticed that Hauptmann Helmut Mertens is listed as having served as Gruppenkommandeur of JGr Süd in the list that Lino has created and kindly shared with us. This information is also included in Obermaier which states that he was appointed to this position in September 1944 and later served with III./EJG 1 presumably as Gruppenkommandeur. However, on http://www.ww2.dk/air/jagd/jgrsud.htm nor on http://www.ww2.dk/air/jagd/ejg1.htm do I see him listed as Gruppenkommandeur of either unit. Any thoughts?

Horrido!

Hi Leo,
thanks for info about Hptm Helmut Mertens.
The mentioned book was one source to assign him to Jagruppe Süd.
In the Holm website, you can find some info on another page,
in the Jagdgruppe Süd section:
Hptm Helmut Mertens, 4.9.44 - 2.11.44

Hello Lino

Many thanks for the web page. So Holm does show him serving as Gruppenkommandeur of JGr Süd and later II./EJG 1 not III./EJG 1 albeit on another web page. Many thanks and this clears up a minor mystery for me!

Horrido!

Leo
