Re: Oblt Ernst-Heinrich Schickedanz
Just speculation, but he probably was "other ranks" during the Spanish Civil War, hence the difficulty in finding him listed in the documents. From Sep 39 to 1942, he probably had training and ground assignments in signals and by 1940-41 had been commissioned Leutnant (Kr.O.) in the Luftnachrichtendienst. By 1943, he was an Oberleutnant with KG 40 and Nachrichtenführer in Stab/V. Gruppe. Very, very unlikely for him to have been a pilot.
SCHICKEDANZ, Ernst-Heinrich. (n.d. - 1943?) Oblt., appt Nafü for V./KG 40.
