Re: Horst Lehrmann, need infos...
Hello,
I've recently received info that confirms that Hptm. Horst Lehrmann was still StaKap of 2./ZG 1 during the French Campaign of 1940. He achieved two victories during that period, a Hurricane on 23.5.40, his first, and a second one, a U/I British fighter on 1.6.40. Does anyone know what happened to Hptm. Lehrmann after I./ZG 1 was broken up in June, 1940? A major part of the unit went on under Hptm. Wolfgang Falck to form part of the evolving night fighter forces, while 1. Staffel became 1./ErprGr210. Although Lehrmann apparently served as Kapitän of 2./ZG1 from the beginning of the Polish Campaign until the end of the FC, he did not continue as a St.Kap in I./NJG1, his position as Kapitän of 2 Staffel being taken over by Oblt Werner Streib. Did Lehrmann join the night fighter establishment at this time, or perhaps take a training unit position? Does anyone know more about this? Did he achieve any further victories through the end of 1940?
Thanx,
