13./JG51

[LLv44_Mprhead]

Hello, Just wanted to inform everyone that we are forming a new (finnish speaking) squadron using the name 13./JG51. Our core is mainly from Dodo squadron from about 2004, but for Battle of Stalingrad we decided to go for more historical name in order to avoid causing any immersion problems for anyone I hope everyone using any kind of JG51 squadron names are okey with us using this name. We are not, and will not be, any kind of strict, military type, virtual squadron, but a bunch of people having fun together. Our focus is to fly Luftwaffe, but if in multiplayer one side has clear disadvantage in numbers, we will fly that side.

P.S. depending on how changing squadron tag is implemented in game, we might be flying as 13.IAP when flying on VVS side, but that remains to be seen.

Hi gents!

 

Greetings!

 

13 (Panzerjager) Staffel / Jagdgeschwader 51 "Molders" was one of two longest-lived Luftwaffe Hs129 Panzerjager Staffeln.

 

Here are non-previously ever published Staffel Leaders list for Your Staffel:

 

13.(Pz)/JG51

01.07.42-01.01.43 Oblt Herbert Eggers - transferred to Rechlin

01.01.43-15.10.43 Lt. / Oblt. Günther Jolas - appt Staka 6./SG 101

15.10.44-18.10.43 Lt. / Oblt. Hans Jentsch - Staffel renamed 14.(Pz)/SG 9

 

14.(Pz)/SG 9

18.10.43-26.10.43 Oblt. Hans Jentsch - KIA - Hs 129 B-2 took a direct AA hit, crashed NW of Wesseloye

26.10.43-01.11.43 Oblt. Friedrich-Wilhelm Quilitzsch - KIA – in Hs 129 B-2 crashed during an attack on tanks 5 km E of Malaya-Mayachka

01.11.43-15.11.43 Lt. Wilhelm Abt - KIA in his Hs 129 in the Alexandria-Melitopol area

01.12.43-08.05.45 Hans-Hermann "Papa" Steinkamp (Ritterkreuztrager) - war ended

 

Staffeln flew during winter 1942/43 in Stalingrad area, hunting for tanks. And actually, up to Battle of Kursk pilots of 13.(Pz)/JG51 were most skilled "tank-busters" of Luftwaffe. Unfortunatly, Staffel suffered greaviously hard lossees during Citadel, losing many good pilots.
