Need Staffel for Lt. Hans Schmid of I./ZG52 during FC spring 1940

Hello,

Can anyone provide the Staffel for Lt. Hans Schmid, who reportedly achieved 7 victories with I./ZG52 during the Western Campaign of spring 1940? He went on to achieve a total of 6 more with II./ZG2 during the BoB, bringing his total during 1940 to 13, the highest scorer in both I./ZG52 and its successor unit, II./ZG2, yet his Staffel assignment in either unit is apparently unknown. Does anyone know anything about this guy?

Does anyone know a source for the total number of victories awarded to airmen of I./ZG52 during 1940, before it became II./ZG 2? The same question applies to II./ZG2 after the unit changed designation? Information on this unit's victory claims during 1940 to this day remains, at best, fragmentary. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who knows anything concerning victory claims awarded to airmen from this combined unit during 1940.

Thanx,
