Very helpful Leo! I'm trying to determine when Lipfert recieved his G-10, I'm pretty sure its a WNF G-10/U4 if he got it when he was with II./JG 51. Not sure of the date that would be though.. late 1944 maybe?

P141.
17 Oct 1944 :
"At this time I received a a Bf 109 armed with a 30mm cannon,..."

PP.141-43
First claims with it on 23 Oct 44.

JG 52.

Hi,

II./J.G. 52 took its first Bf 109 G-10s on strength in December 1944, and these were G-10/U4s. In October 1944 it took on strength the Bf 109 G-14. See this page: http://www.ww2.dk/oob/bestand/jagd/biijg52.html

Cheers,
Andrew A.
