Re: Oblt/Hptm Wilhlem Knapp
Two ULTRAs that mention him:
CX/MSS/R193(C),3
Signed Dept. IIA, dated 23/5: With effect from 22/5 Major i.G. Knapp is appointed acting Kommandeur of FAG 123.
CX/MSS/R211(C),13
Signed Knapp dated 9/6:
I intend tomorrow to hold a conference with 3.(F)/122, 5.(F)/123 and Wekusta 51. Staffelkapitäne are to hold themselves ready with the necessary documents. I am bringing courier post with me. Expect me to land after 0300 hours.
NOTE: For appointment of Major i.G. Knapp to acting Kommandeur of (F) 123 w.e.f. 22/5 see MSS/R193(C)3.
I don't have anything on his death but that last message would be consistent with him dying on a flight on the night of 9–10 June, as bakerman suggests.
