KG53 Stfka September 1944
 

Hi guys

Here I am again to pick your brains!

Who were the various Stfka when KG53 reformed in September 1944

I have them for 1, 4, 8 and 9 Staffeln,

but require them for 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7.

Cheers
Brian

Suggest you look at the KG 53 history which says

2-Hptm Horst Zander
3-Hptm Werner Brandt
5-Hptm Erhard Scheier
6-Hptm Wilhelm Bautz
7-Hptm August Lauerer

However, I would urge caution. For example the book says Hptm Heinz Rehfeld was St Kap of 4/KG 53 when Hptm Heinz Zoellner was until 5 Nov 44 (although the NVM does not state that) and Hptm Siegfried Jessen was St Kap of 7 & 9/KG 53 (he was definitelyt St Kap of the latter)

Thanks again Chris - much appreciated.

PS I can't locate the KG53 history!
