MIERISCH, Karl. 01.09.41 promo to Hptm. 03.10.45 Hptm. and POW, assigned to fly an Ar 234 to Farnborough.
MIERISCH, Karl. 16.04.42 Hptm. in Abt. Qu 4/Italuft Rome.

These are the only two I can comment on. All of the above entries, except for the Farnsborough one, are mine and taken from the Luftwaffenpersonalamt's officer assignment (and promotion) orders contained in 27 rolls of NARA WashDC microfilm in RG 242 Microcopy T-77. You can find more information on this in the bibliographic section of the Introduction of our Luftwaffe Officer Career Summaries on the Michael Holm website. But here is the rub: it is entirety possible that these two Karl Mierisch officers are one and the same. When working my way through these tens of thousands of pages of material between 1988 and 2010, I would enter a name twice if I was uncertain that a particular assignment, e.g., "in Abt. Qu 4/Italuft Rome", belonged with the first Mierisch that I had previously entered. So the bottom line is that it is entirely possible there is only one Hptm. Karl Mierisch. There just isn't enough assignment information to be certain.
