Hauptmann Herbert VATER
De Zeng Files about the LW officers do inform that this Officer was born in 1903 and served with Fl.Ausb.Rgt. 32. He apparently was promoted to Oberleutnant rank on the 1st November 1942 and later served with KG 50 (as Odr Offz - which I understand is "Ordenance Officer"?).
Kracker Files do have another Hauptmann Herbert Vater was Staffelkapitän of 1./Ku.Fl.Gr 406, shot down on the 7th February 1942 during the attack of PQ17.
Are they the same person? Why the difference of rank? What was his fate? Did he survived WW2?
Did Hauptmann Herbert Vater served with the Kondor Legion previously?
