Re: Need help with Leadership lists for KG30

Hello,

Regarding the StaKap succession for 2./KG30 in early 1940, it appears likely that
"HIELSCHER, Karl-Ferdinand. 16.05.40 Oblt. and Staka 2./KG 30, reported missing while attacking ports in Holland and/or N France and believed to have been captured," could fill the next position after the loss (MIA) of Hptm. Rosenthal on 3.2.40. This certainly appears likely.

My questions:

a) Is there evidence that HIELSCHER did assume command of 2 Staffel directly after the loss of Rosenthal?

b) If he did, who then followed Hielscher after he went MIA on 16.5.40?

c) Regardless of who it was, I'll need to document any other 2 StaKap to the end of 1940, so info on anyone else in that position during that period would be appreciated.

Regarding 3 Staffel, we still need to know who the StaKaps were for the last 6 months of 1940.

We also need to know who the StaKaps of the Stabstaffel of I./KG30 were during the 1939-40 period.

Good progress.

Regards,
