Re: JG/Gruppe Stab Flight Personnel Selection?

Rob,

A couple of replies.

1. Otto Hintze, Staka of 3./Erpr. Gr. 210 always flew 'Yellow 1' unless it was in for servicing, as happened on 29/10/40 when its engine was up for a service and he flew 'Yellow 6', and was shot down into captivity.

2. I can only speak for a Bf 110 scenario, but when Obst. Vollbracht moved from the Gruppenstab of II./ZG 26 to take up command of ZG 2, he took Oblt. Schaefer with him to be his Geschwaderadjutant. Schaefer was shot down in Vollbracht's 3M+AA on 4th September 1940, after ditching his own Bf 110 in the Channel in mid-August.
