Re: Identity Nachtjagd Staffel near Berlin late September 1940?
Hello Theo,
As the number of available Nachtjagdstaffeln was quite limited then, this questionmark can be solved. Theoretically, it could have been 1) a Kette lead by Oblt. H.Griese. On 8th September 1940 they left the I./NJG 1 for nocturnal operations near Berlin on 8th September. Unfortunately, I don't know when this Kette returned but it must have been before the end of September since Griese was involved in the so called 'Mordnacht von Vechta, 29/30 September 1940. 2) the Erg.Staffel/NJG 1 because Obtl. S.Wandam got the command over this unit 'some days' after 20 September 1940. As we don't know the dislocation of this Erg.St./NJG 1 there is no confirmation for this option 3) checking my Bf110-database, a third option pops up: the 9./NJG 1 which lost a Bf110D-1 (Wnr.3308) on Stendal airfield - not far from Berlin - on the 7th October 1940. Unfortunately, no clear and convincing answer, just a few options. All the best, Marcel
