Re: 8./JG 2 Staffelkapitän
I did quite some research into Maj. Günther Vowinckel, geb. 07.089.1912 Krefeld, as he was killed on 1.1.1945 during Bodenplatte. I have quite a number of documents and also a copy of his FB. Anyway, I can confirm he had EM 55564/1. From his Personalakte he was with I./ZG 2 from 31.3.1940 until 7.8.1940 and he flew 50 Feindflüge during this period. Not sure if he was Staffelkapitän but it seems highly likely.

Regards,

John.
