In an encounter with enemy fighters on 2 March 1945 over Schmerwitz, Jenne was shot down in Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-10 (W.Nr. 151 533) “Blue 1”.

But who was Gr.Kdr. I./ZG 26 from 13.10.43 to march 1944?
And what ideas do You have gents about emblems question?

[John Manrho]

Hptm. Jenne left I./ZG 26 on the first of June 1944. He was never StaKa of 1./JG 6. Jenne became Kdr of I./ZG 26 on ~23.02.1944 when he was still an Oblt. Hptm. August Bier was Kdr of I./ZG 26 from 10.43 till 2.1944.

Cheers,

John.
