Heinkel He 45 - any notable pilots?

Good morning Gentlemen,

the Heinkel He 45 was built in quite high numbers (512) and used operationally in the Spanish Civil War and for night harassment in WW2. Does anybody know any notable pilot of that aircraft type?

Cheers,
Michael

Got one: knight's cross recipient Erwin Proessl flew his first mission in the He 45 during the polish campain. Does anybody know how many missions followed before his unit transitioned to the Hs 126?
