Staffelkapitän 2./KG27?
 

Friends,

Does anyone know who was Staffelkapitän for 2./KG27 in January to April 1944? I think he should be a Hauptmann.

Thank you in advace

Is this guy a possibility? He was Staka 2./ before becoming a/c Kdr I./ to 1/42. Was still in I./ to at least 7/44. Joachim Petzold was GrK in 1943 - so did Stauch go back to being Staka 2./ until he left? Sadly, the date he left KG 27 is not given.
