Early war career of Oblt. Hermann Reifferschidt?
Hello,
I have conflicting evidence of the early-war career of Oblt. Hermann Reifferscheidt.
One highly credible source says that he was the Gr Adj of I./JG20 at the beginning of the war.
However, the Kracker Arhive says that he was with I./JG2 at the beginning of the war. Can anyone resolve this discrepancy?
"REIFFERSCHEIDT, Hermann. 24.11.37 Lt. at FFS C Celle (later FFS C 7). 01.08.39 Oblt., in I./JG 2 (to 01.11.40).
03.40 in 2./JG 2.
25.04.40 Oblt., appt Staka 1./JFS 1.
10.40 Staka 1./JG 2.
01.11.40
Oblt. and Staka 1./JG 2,
POW - forced down by RAF fighters at Sidlesham, Sussex.
01.04.42 promo to Hptm.
Credited with one known victory."
Who can help?
