Re: Hptm. Siegfried Gnass, 12./NJG 6

Thank you very much for your replies!

Siegfried Gnass was born on 12.02.1913 in Schloßberg/Angerburg, today Węgorzewo.

I found some infos in G. Baekers book about KG 1:

S. Gnass / Gnaß is first mentioned as Beobachter in 1938 of the Stabstaffel/KG 152 (rank: Lt.), from 07.07.38 as "Beob.-Bildoffz.".

He is next mentioned as Staffelkapitän/Staffelführer of 4./KG 1 (23.07.43 - 23.08.1943) and then as Staffelkäpitan of 2./KG 1 from 01.09.43 until 13.07.1944.

In the same source Hptm. Werner Gnass is listed as Ia (without date) and officer for "Waffen- und Bombenwesen" of IV./KG 1 from 1941 onwards.

Later he is listed as Ia of I./KG 1 until 20.02.1944 and as NO of the same Gruppe from this day onwards.

A little bit confusing, maybe it helps...

Bets regards
