Good afternoon: I am trying to differentiate which of the Two (or both?) Kurt Mueller's had served in Poland with I/ZG2. The confusion for me is their rank. On 7.4.40 "Fw" Kurt Mueller was KIA while serving with 3/ZG2. While the unit, 3/ZG2, is the same,The Kurt Mueller who claimed a victory on 15.9.39 was an "Ofw" which I believe is a rank higher. The Kurt Mueller, who was S/D, and POW as Staffelfuhrer of 2/ZG2 was a "Oblt", which was 3 ranks higher than the Ofw. Mueller of Poland, which seems a rather rapid and significant increase in rank over 1 year. Can anyone clarify this for me? Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks Dean
