Correct me if necessary (please):
If I recall correctly the three (or perhaps some of the three) Sturmböck gruppen (of JG3, JG4 and JG300, after Sturmstaffel 1), were moved east in 1945, right after having had some striking succeses in 1944 against the formations of B-17s and B-24s.
Furthermore, if I recall correctly it was still in early 1945 (January?) that the Sturmböcke still had some striking victories against the USAAF´s heavy bombers.
Does anyone happen to know when were the Sturm units moved east and which units did the change comprise?
Did the Sturm fighters were use as ordinary fighters against the VVS?
Any further input will be very greatly appreciated.
Cheers!
