Early war career of Oblt. Hermann Reifferschidt?
Hello,
I have conflicting evidence of the early-war career of Oblt. Hermann Reifferscheidt. One highly credible source says that he was the Gr Adj of I./JG20 at the beginning of the war. However, the Kracker Arhive says that he was with I./JG2 at the beginning of the war. Can anyone resolve this discrepancy? "REIFFERSCHEIDT, Hermann. 24.11.37 Lt. at FFS C Celle (later FFS C 7). 01.08.39 Oblt., in I./JG 2 (to 01.11.40). 03.40 in 2./JG 2. 25.04.40 Oblt., appt Staka 1./JFS 1. 10.40 Staka 1./JG 2. 01.11.40 Oblt. and Staka 1./JG 2, POW - forced down by RAF fighters at Sidlesham, Sussex. 01.04.42 promo to Hptm. Credited with one known victory." Who can help? Regards, Larry Hickey EoE Project Coordinator

He joined JG 2 in jan 38 & in spring 1940 moved to Werneuchen for instructor duties. No mention from him of going to JG 20. At some stage he was Gr Adj to von Massow
