Re: When did Hptm Paul-Werner Hozzel take command of I./StG1, circa 9.39?
Hi Larry,
According to "Das waren die deutschen Stuka-Asse" by Georg Brütting he was appointed Staffelkapitän of 2/Schlachtfliegergruppe 20 in Tutow on 1 Sept. 1938. As you know Sch.Gr. 20 formed elements of I/St.G. 160 in Insterburg on 1.11.1938 and then was redesignated I/St.G 1 on 1.5.1939.
So I would imagine he remained in this role as Staka 2 Staffel/SchG 20, StG 160, StG 1 until 19.10.1939 when he took command of the Gruppe.
