Re: Who was Hauptmann Born ???
A search of our officer career files reveals eight "Hptm. Born"s. Which of these were associated with the Ar 196 is not so clear but with a bit of checking it appears that the one you are looking for is one of:
BORN, Karl. 12.39 Lt.(d.R.), appt Staka 4. Seenotstaffel (to 09.41). 11.09.41 Hptm., appt Staka 9.(Erg.) Seenotstaffel (to 20.10.43). 10.44 Maj., appt Kdr. Seenotgruppe 81 and Seenotstaffel 81 (to 08.05.45).
BORN, Karl-Heinz. (DOB: 02.08.13 in Rostock). 10.41 in 3./Aufkl.Gr. 125. 01.03.42 promo to Hptm.(Tr.O.). 07.05.42 WIA. 13.03.43 in Fliegerwaffentechnischen Schule (See). 10.43 appt Major beim Stab in Stab/SAGr. 126. Last rank: Hptm.
We suspect that these two may in fact be the same fellow. More information is needed.
We hope that this helps.
