Re: Need help with Leadership lists for KG30

Hi Larry,

On Hielscher, this is what Peter Cornwell says (with small corrections):

2./KG30 Junkers Ju88A-1. Hit by ground-fire during attack on roads west of Brussels and crashed and burned out near Ernage, south of Gembloux, 12.00 p.m. BS Uffz Stefan Sempert killed, BF Uffz Waldemar Gramse badly wounded – died next day, BO Oberfw Hermann Strohmaier badly wounded and FF Hptmn Karl Hielscher (Staffelkapitän) slightly wounded – both returned later. Aircraft 100% write-off.

On May 16 Gembloux was in German hands, and Hielscher likely returned to his unit. The question is then if he continued his StaKa command of 2./KG30, or that someone else took over (temporarily).

Regards, Pieter
