Re: List of StaKa's I./ZG 1, Erpr.Gr.210, I./SKG 210, I./ZG 1.

Hello

I noticed a minor but confusing error:
Falck (Gruppenkommandeur I./ZG 1) was told to become Geschwaderkommodore of the new NJG 1 on 26th June 1940 (when the I./ZG 1 - minus 1./ZG 1 under Oblt. Lutz - was renamed into I./NJG 1).
At this very day the actual Staffelkapitän of the 2./ZG 1 was Oblt. Günther Radusch, not Werner Streib who was leading a Flughafenbetriebskompanie (air servicing squadron) of the I./ZG 1 if I do remember it correctly.
When Falck left, Radusch was promoted to Gruppenkommandeur of this I./NJG 1. Successor of Radusch was the already mentioned Oblt. Werner Streib, therefore Streib was never Staffelkapitän of a Zerstörerstaffel.
The actual change of commands was on the 8th July in Düsseldorf-Lohausen during a military ceremony.

All the best, Marcel Hogenhuis
