Re: Loss Stab. - III./KG 55
I have:
1940-05-10, Stab III/KG 55, He 111 P-1, G1+AD, Aahl.les.Benestroff, Flakbeschuß. Bruch 100 %.
Flugzeugführer Major Schemmel, Paul, gefangen
Beobachter Olt Prüfer, Heinrich, gefangen
Beobachter Olt Gräf, Fritz, gefangen
Bordfunker Ofw Lehmann, Franz, gefangen
Bordmechaniker Fw Meyer, Erich, +
Besatzung später zurück.
Possibly Fw Meyer was promoted after his death, effective perhaps May 1, as was sometimes a habit with long-serving persons in the previous rank. This promotion cannot be seen in the NVM. Date of birth is correct.
