Re: Hauptmann Wilhelm Moritz, Stkp. 12/JG51 when?
Hello,
I do not to create any confusion, but the footnote in JFV 9/II by Prien et al., p. 350, states that the kills of Hptm. Moritz were counted with the Gruppenstab of IV./JG 51 till the beginning of December 1942, so Moritz´s appointment as Staffelkapitän of 12./JG 51 occurred evidently only in December 1942.
So maybe Moritz was serving as acting Staffelkapitän of 12./JG 51 during the absence of his predecessor, Oblt. Egon Falkensammer (whose last recorded claim with 12. Staffel seems to be on 5 August 1942)?
