I would expect 8/KG 77 but need to check to be 100% sure

Re: Oblt Willi Grigat
Hello Chris,
in a precedent message, you tell me Leutnant Albert Lutz was Staffelführer of 8/KG26 during summer 1944 ; how could he have under his orders an officer senior to him ? In his book, Bodo Diemer (who at the time was in the 8/KG77) speaks of Grigat at the date of 6th july 1944 calling him "Oberleutnant Grigat" and speaking of Lutz says Leutnant. Claude |

Re: Oblt Willi Grigat
Hello.
Not unusual at all. Senior in rank not necessarily senior in experience. And a Staffelführer is not a appointed Staffelkapitän. Regards, Andreas B
