Re: Death of Dieter Voight of 6./Sg2
Hello Yogibaer,
my fault, perhaps I should have used the correct abreviation for the unit: instead of II/SG 1 is is II/SchlG 1. In early October 1943 there was no SG 1. "SG" and "SchlG" both stand for "Schlachtgeschwader". "SchlG" was the earlier abreviation, used only for the first two Schlachtgeschwader in 1942 and 1943. "SG" came into use after the Stukawaffe was reformed in mid October 1943 and new "Schlachtgeschwader" were created. At the same time the old "SchlG" were also redesignated to "SG". Dieter Voigts 6/SchlG 1 did fly Fw 190 from January 1943 onwards. The unit was renamed 6./SG 2 on 18. October 1943, a few days after Voigt being wounded. The NVM for Voigt was filed under the designation II/SchlG 1. Greetings Carl
