Re: Ergänzungs Jagdgruppe West

Hi Larry,

You are correct, I just checked my file, and he was posted to take over Ergaenzungsstaffel Jagdgeschwader 3 late in 1940.

Hi VtwinVince, where was your uncle based in 45? Which Staffel he flew?
Thanks

Re: Ergänzungs Jagdgruppe West

Do you know, in when exactly he was member of JGr. West?
I have some group pictures of JGr. West, showing at least one other pilot of JG5 transfered to this unit. Pictures taken about september 1943.

Re: Ergänzungs Jagdgruppe West

Hi Rolf,

According to the Flugbuch, he was assigned to 13. EJG 1 on 25.2.1945, which was then renamed 17. EJG 1 in April. He flew from Erding and Muenchen-Riem mostly, on ME 109 G6, G12 and G14. The entries go up to April 13, 1945.
