[Doug Stankey]

To add to the discussion, here is what I have abstracted from our Officer Career database:

12./SG 151:
Staka:
Hptm. Paul Dose (DKG, RK) (01.02.45 - 23.02.45).
Oblt. Fritz Seyffardt (DKG, RK) (24.02.45 - 10.03.45).

This generally agrees with Iperson's comments but he also added that Artur Heyer was a Staka as well. Our database states that Heyer was Staka but for 12./SG 152, not 151. Could this be due to a typo by us? According to our notes for Jungclausen, he was not involved with SG 151, but this could be due to an omission. Where did you find this?

Any comments/clarifications?

Regarding Kennel as Kdr. of IV./SG 151:
I agree that the most likely scenario is that Karl Kennel was not involved with SG 151. Our notes for him stated: "17.08.44 Hptm., appt Kdr. IV./SG 151 (to 10.10.44)." but this appears to be redundant but not impossible if he was in an acting capacity then concurrency is possible if the "permanent" appointee is unavailable for whatever reason.

When our book manuscript was being "frozen" in 2009 the clash seemed less apparent. Unfortunately, proper resolution appears impossible for now.

The most likely listing appears to be:

IV./ SG 151:
Kdr:
Maj. Heinz Frank (DKG, RK, EL) (08.44 - 07.10.44 KIA).
Oblt. Rudolf Smola (DKG, RK) (c. 10.44 - 27.03.45 KIA). - acting
Hptm. Paul Dose (DKG, RK) (24.02.45 - 15.04.45).
