Between Heinz Zöllner and Bautz is an empty period of almost 14 months in the book by Kiehl. Although I don't know if Bautz started right after Zöllner left (who left according to this book, on 26.9.1943), but I do know that Bautz was already Staka 6./KG53 at Christmass 1943.
So his signature in a Flugbuch in March 1944 as Staka 6./KG53 is correct. Regards, Thomas
