Re: Hptm. Siegfried Gnass, 12./NJG 6
This is a good example of the mess that can ensue from working with both primary and secondary material in attempting to put together a career profile for Luftwaffe officers. My guess is that this is the same person who used both Siegfried and Werner. Or are they really two different officers with their career entries intermixed? Would anyone like to take a shot at straightening this out?
GNASS, Siegfried. 01.07.42 promo to Hptm. 02.06.43 Hptm. in Offiziere z.b.V./Ob.d.L. (Sch.Etat), trf to IV./KG 1. 22/23.12.44 Hptm.in 12./NJG 6, KIA - crashed near Dachsenhausen/Taunus following combat with an enemy night fighter.
GNASS, Werner. (DOB: 27.03.10). 01.05.43 in IV./KG 1, promo to Hptm. 1943 Hptm., appt Staka 12./KG 1 (to 31.08.43). 01.10.44 Hptm., appt Staka 3./Erg.KGr. 177 (to 05.11.44). 06.11.44 Hptm., appt Staka 11./KG (J) 40 (to 11.44). † 22.12.44.]
