Happy New Year, Johannes! I can only add what Caldwell commented on Lang in II/JG26---that, in spite of his 'overly enthusiastic' claiming, his vigorous, energetic and aggressive style of leadership, combined with the excellent staffel and schwarm leaders made sure II/JG256 remained an effective top scoring Gruppe in JG26 (and, I daresay, in the Western Theater).
