Ghostbombers updates

[Nick Beale]

On my website I've just made some additions (including an image of a wartime document) to the article about Kommando Sommer.

I've just posted the latest Ghost Bombers updates, rather more of them than usual:

• Added to Jagdgruppe 200 in Provence: June–August 1944: a new page (linking from his victory claim on 14 July) about Lt. Heinz Moschke's service with the unit.
• Added to Sonderstaffel Kaatsch: Lt. Moschke's flights with the Staffel and his fate; also a few words about the subsequent flying careers of Lt. Kurt Bell and Ofw. Eduard Isken. Besides that, I've converted all the times in the article from GMT to German local time.
• Complete overhaul of the layout and navigation of NSG 9; new content added for Chapters 2, 4, 6, 9, 10 (multiple items), 12 (multiple items), 14 and the Appendices (multiple items).

Latest updates to the Ghostbombers website:

• The Stab/JG 77 War Diary is now in the wider page layout, with a new page added about events during their deployment to Tulln, Austria on 8 July 1944.

Interesting, the Ju 88 C-6 360176 was C9+AE (V/NJG 5) thougt was or had been the personal aircraft of ace´Prinz zo Sayn. Wittgestein in 1942/1943. FB Leichsenring records this with this code in April 1943. No fate yet recorded.

The book "Stirlings in Action with the Airborne Forces", by Dennis Williams, Pen & Sword, has on page 277 a photo of a machine gun breech, identified as being from S Sugar of 620 Sqn, lost over Norway on 28/29 December 1944. On it is an inscription. "Abschuss am 28.12.44. Hauptmann Vogt."

The latest updates to my website, posted today, are:

• A substantial expansion of the Kommando Schenck article, including an analysis of published accounts of when the unit's Me 262s first arrived in France and went into action, plus some conclusions of my own.
• Correction to the Jagdgruppe 200 article re the Werk Nummer of a Bf 109 abandoned at Aix-Les-Milles. (Thanks to Franck for spotting that).
• Minor corrections to the I./JG 2 in Italy article.

Posted this evening:

• A new article, based on Ultra, about Kampfgruppe 100's arrival in France in August 1940 and its first four weeks of operations there. No promises but this may prove to be the first of in series on aspects of the air fighting over Britain and France in 1940. It all depends on how many oportunities I get for the necessary for research how the material turns out.
• Minor corrections and layout changes to several pages throughout the site.

Hello Nick,

Interesting article about KGr.100 (though my main interest is I./NJG 1) and I was suprised to see the name of Dr. Kühnhold > it could be the same person who was involved with Jägerleitstellung Teerose near Arnhem in 1942/1943, I must check my archives to see where I have read about him.

Just a minor detail but an interesting one. All the best,

Marcel Hogenhuis

Hi Nick, a fantastic look and the complexities of how a Luftwaffe bomber group functions on a day to day basis. Excellent work so far, looking forward to further extracts.

Best regs,
Steve.
