When Did Gefr. Josef 'Jupp' Bigge Join JG2?
I am trying to find out when Gefr. Josef 'Jupp' Bigge joined JG2. Eric Mombeek's Jagdwaffe Vol Two Section 1 - Battle of Britain Phase One has a photo on P. 61 with the caption: "Along with members of his groundcrew, Gefr. Josef 'Jupp' Bigge is seen here sitting on the port wing of his Bf 109 E-1 'Black 9' of 8./JG 2 at Octeville near Le Havre in early August 1940." However, deZeng and Stankey's Luftwaffe Officer Career Summaries and the Kracker Luftwaffe Archive list his service as starting in 08.41, and Mathews and Foreman's Luftwaffe Aces, states that he 'flew with JG 2 during 1941-1943.' Can anyone help to resolve these discrepancies?
I have just come across a later photo in Mombeek which states that "Bigge was posted to 8./.JG 2 on 20 June 1940". Last edited by Peter Cook; 4th November 2019 at 13:41. Reason: More information found
