Did JG 23 exists?
Dear friends,
I have a problem. According to Barry C.Rosch in Luftwaffe codes, markings & units 1939-1945 at page 204, there has been a JG 23. He says: III Gruppenstab formed from Stab I/KG 100 (5-44) [ post #31695] III Gruppenstab later Stab II/JG 7(8-44) 7 formed (5-44)? 7 later 6/JG 7(8-44)? With Bf 109. But this was not mentioned in Kampfgeschwader 100"Wiking" of Ulf Balke. He has mentioned at page 190: Ende Mai wurde die I./KG 100 auf dem Flugplatz Fassberg in III./KG 1 umbenannt. And at page 315: Am 20.08.44 kam vom O.K.L. der erste Auflösungdbefehl für das KG 100 "Wiking". According to Kannapin for FPnr. 31695: (28.2.1941 - 29.7.1941) I./KG 4, (8.9.1943 - 22.4.1944) 11.11.1943 I./KG 100, (23.4.1944 - 24.11.1944) 10.6.1944 III./JG 23, 22.9.1944 II./JG 7, (25.11.1944 - Kriegsende) 13.1.1945 IV./JG 301. And Manfred Boehme in Jagdgeschwader 7, die Chronik eines Me 262-Geschwaders 1944/45 says at page 165: Völlig im Verzug war der Aufbau der II./JG 7. Aufgestellt auf dem Kommandoweg am 12. Januar 1945, wurde die Gruppe doch erst vier Wochen später, am 12. Februar 1945, etatisiert: "II./JG 7 (bisher IV./JG 54) ist durch den Gen. der Jagdflieger auf Me 262 umzurüsten." And then, I am lost. Has there been a JG 23? Who can help? Jaap Last edited by Jaap Woortman; 12th October 2011 at 11:38. |
