Hptm Gerd Korthals 8/KG 51 & 2/KGr 100
Both Larry & Doug's list and Kaiser's RK book have the above taking command of 8/KG 51 in June 1940. However, I have the St Kap of 8/KG 51 on 12 Aug 40 as Hptm von Schenk, Korthals is referred to in a 2/KGr 100 diary at the end of Aug 40 and photos exist of him returning on from his 100th operational flight with 2/KGr 100 on 16 Jan 41. Is it possible that he moved from being St Kap of 2/KG 100 to St Kap 8/KG 51 in June 1941 not 1940?
