JG 52 Staffelkapitäne in the Battle of Britain

I need help identifying the JG 52 Staffelkapitän that flew during the Battle of Britain for the following:
2./JG 52 - Oblt Karl-Heinz Leesmann was appointed on 27.08.40, who proceeded him?
5./JG 52 - was Oblt August-Wilhelm Schumann or Oblt Heinz Bernhard Schumann Staffelkapitän?
7./JG 52 - who followed Oblt Herbert Fermer (01.03.40-24.07.40 KIA) and Oblt Wilhelm Keidel (25.07.40 KIA)?

You need Jochen Prien's books; in order:
Hptm Wolfgang Ewald
August-Wilhelm
Oblt Willy Bielefeld then Hptm Erwin Bacsilla (temporary) as they were then withdrawn
