Re: Hptm Hartwich, X Fliegerkorps, 15 Aug 40
Checking our notes:
HARTWICH, Ernst-August.
(DOB: 29.09.04 in Güstrow).
01.03.38 promo to Hptm.(Ln.).
15.08.40 Hptm., Nafü of I./ZG 76 - MIA in Bf 110D flown by Hptm. Werner Restemeyer that was shot down into the sea by Spitfires off the coast of County Durham 60 km NW of Aberdeen this date.
So, this guy was aboard the Restermeyer plane and he was the Gruppe’s Nachrichtenoffizier. This explains the confusion, he was staff but not Kdr.
We hope this enlightens the situation.
