Franck,

By using Google, I noticed a TOCH thread started by Dénes, who asked for which training units did use Gifhorn airfield by April 1945:

http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/showthread.php?t=20782

So, thanks to ChristianK, we know that II./JG 105, II./JG 107 and I./JG 110 ended the war there. The airfield thus existed and was operational; this doesn't solve thought the unit from which "Rote 20" or "Gelbe 20" did come from, as none of the mentioned units did have a III Gruppe...

Cheers
Marc

Hello Marc,

I got the same result; nothing exciting relationned with that III. Gruppe bar....
They forgot Stab, I. and II. JG 27 in their listing.

Regards, Franck.

What was your source for that idea, Marc?

Don't know, just a guess. What do you think?

Hallo David,

1. The size, position and readable numbers of the W.Nr. x5 (?) 492

2. Camouflage similarities with Györ built W.Nr. 95 182:

3. I acknowledge the intimate analogies between W.Nr. 165 480 "Gelbe 20" of an unknown III. Gruppe with the plane we're discussing now but cannot overcome the certainly differing last three digits of the latter (..492).

Cheers
Marc
