Hello,

In trying to assemble the leadership list for I./StG1 during the 1939-40 period, I've received information that Oblt. Hans Eichleiter may have been the StaKap of 2 Staffel from June, 1940, following the death of Oblt. Heinz Bohne in Norway on 2.6.40, until about 9.40, when Lt. Gerhard Grenzel took over the unit until his death on 10.1.41. Does anyone know the exact dates of his service with the unit, and why he left?

In the Luft Off Career Summ there is no Hans Eichleiter listed, although there is a man by that last name who was lost with an unknown unit 1942. No way to know if this is the same person, and provides no help anyway on his possible assignments during 1940.

Regards,
