Re: Gerhard Renz; KG 26
RENZ received the KC because he was a very successful Heinkel 111-bomber-pilot in 1939/40, mostly on anti-shipping flights against the british Home Fleet. His observer at this time was Lt. ALBERT von SCHWERIN, both KC on 31-07-1940. SCHWERIN was killed on 19.11.1940 near Barking/Essex (I have no details), at this time RENZ was not his pilot.
His last rank was Hauptmann.
Sorry, that's all what I have.
GERHARD RENZ died on 16.02.1946 in Lübeck.
