Rene:
Thank you for your feedback. It all helps.
I have reviewed the available information, but I do not have the autobiography. It seems that apart from the conflict abut being Staka in 1940, we are actually in agreement. As Larry has speculated, the Staka position in 1940 was almost certainly an acting one.
The part where he was Staka 2./KG 51 in 1942/4 was omitted by me as this was not in the time period as originally requested.
If you could research those flight logs or the memoirs for more specific details that would improve upon our Haberlen write-up, I can then incorporate them for the next release of our officer career database.
