Re: Two Luftwaffe SG pilots - Schoppe/Neumann
(National Archives AIR40/2264: PEARL/ZIP/GAM Reports 1944-45) On 22 May 1945 a signal from Oberstlt. Wilke to OKL and Gen. der Flieger Meister gave the CO of III./KG 200 as Oberleutnant Schoppe.
I assumed that he took over after Helmut Viedebantt was killed on 1 May. Schoppe appears in a group shot of III./KG 200 pilots that's been published a couple of times.
