Re: Maj Alfred Hemm
Chris,
Doug has unscrambled these for us after rechecking a number of primary and secondary sources, a task that takes a couple of hours to do:
HEMM, Alfred. 06.40 Hptm., appt Staka 4.(F)/Aufkl.Gr. 122 (to 06.42). 01.43 Hptm., appt provisional Kdr. V./KG 40 (to 13.10.43). 01.03.43 promo to Maj. and named from provisional to permanent Kdr. V./KG 40.
HELM, Alfred. (DOB: 16.01.94). WWI served as a fighter pilot. (n.d.) Kdr. in KG.z.b.V. 172. 27.11.39 Maj., appt Kdr. Blindflugschule 4 (to 16.05.41). (n.d.) with Erprobungsstelle Werneuchen. 1941 in Stab IV./NJG 1. 29/30.06.42 Maj., detached to II./NJG 2 from Erprobungsstelle Werneuchen. Late summer 1942 returned to Erprobungsstelle Werneuchen. 18.08.42 Maj., II./NJG 1?. 1943 with Stab II./NJG 2. c.11.44 in I./NJG 1. 05.45 Maj., Stab/NJG 1, without assignment. Was the oldest night fighter pilot in the Luftwaffe. 1950s worked for Lufthansa. Credited with 3 victories plus 3 more in WWI. †14.02.65.
When building these little summaries, the one-line data factoids are entered as we encounter them, thus some get posted to the wrong individual in cases of more than one person with the same name and those officers with missing first names.
