Re: Staffelkapitäne / -führer in III./SG3 1945

For the 8. Staffel, there seems to be some confusion... I can even add more:
- Erhard Jähnert claims in his memoirs that he was Staffelkapitän starting ca. mid November 1944. He also claims that his predecessor was an incompetent alcoholic.
- It looks as if a Hauptmann was meant to sign the Flugbuch shown by hucks216, but then Naumann corrected to "Oberleutnant" and signed himself. This would fit to Hauptmann Jähnert having been Staka maybe until ... some time around capitulation and then becoming a kind of acting Gruppenkommandeur?

Jähnert also mentions Naumann as an "officer pupil" during summer 1944 in a SG10x-school, where he was working before returning to III./SG3.

EDIT: Thank you both for contributing
