Re: Werner Baumbach
What we have about Werner, for his early time period:
BAUMBACH, Werner.
06.04.36 entered the Luftwaffe and ordered to Luftkriegschule Berlin-Gatow as a Fahnenjunker.
01.01.38 promo to Lt.
1938 became a Kettenführer in the Erprobungsstelle der Luftwaffe in Rechlin – aided in the creation of the later KG 30.
15.06.39 trf to II.(K)/LG 1.
09.39 Lt. in 5./KG 30.
19.04.40 severely damaged (sunk?) the French cruiser Emile Bertin.
During the Polish campaign the II./LG 1 was equipped with He111. I have seen photos of LG 1 He 111s with the appropriate codes. Also, these Heinkels show up in the order of battle for 01.09.39.
According to Larry’s notes, Werner was with 5./LG 1 and not 6. Staffel at this time. You say you can substantiate this 6.Staffel connection? Please, lets hear more about this.
