Commanders in NJG 2

[RodM]

Snippets from documents:

Oblt. Franz Brinkhaus –
He endorsed 6./NJG2 Flugbücher for Ulrich Hess and Kurt Wacker on 20.04.1945 as Staka 6./NJG2. He endorsed the Flugbuch for Ofw. Waldman on 23.04.1945, as as Staka 6./NJG2. The previous endorsement in Waldman’s Flugbuch was made by an unknown Hauptmann (not listed as Staka) circa 12.44

Oblt. Erich Jung -
He endorsed his own Flugbuch on 28.02.1945 as Staka 5./NJG2. He endorsed Walter Heidenreich’s Leistungsbuch on 28.02.1945 and 13.04.1945 as Staka 5./NJG2. Later endorsements in both documents (i.e. after 13/04) were made by an unknown Leutnant (not listed as Staka). NOTE - Jung served in 6./NJG2 throughout 1944, including when he made an aerial victory claim on 21.11.1944. I don't have a copy of Jung's Flugbuch entries for 1944, so I cannot comment on when he transferred to 5./NJG2.

ULTRA (HW 5/649) has message CX/MSS/R.433/A/13:

"from Adj. Jagdkorps I IIa on 18/1: in accordance with communication of OKL GAF Personnel 1, ID 40028 of 17/1/45, with immediate effect Hptm. (Tr.) Heinz-Horst Hissbach II./NJG2 is entrusted with the affairs of Kommandeur of this Gruppe."
