StKap of 2./ZG1 during 1940.

[Larry Hickey]

Hello,

I recently responded to a post from last year about Hptm. Horst Lehrmann, who was the StaKap of 2./ZG 1 until sometime in early June, 1940, not long before the unit evolved into a night fighter unit. In trying to work out who succeeded him, we know two things:

1) That Oblt. Werner Streib was reported to have taken over as StKap on 6.6.40, before becoming StKap of 2./NJG1 on 26.6.40.

2) The original English/German version of the RKT Volume for fighter piltots says that Hptm. Günther Radusch "became StaKap of 2./ZG1 early June 1940," before becomming GrKdr of I./NJG1 about 26.6.40. The revised German edition says that he was on the Stab of a Zerstörer Geschwader (presumeably I./ZG1) during the French Campaign. Was he briefly, before Streib, StKap of 2./ZG1, then switched places with Streib on the Stab of I./ZG1, with Streib then moving to Kap of 2 Staffel? What Stab position did he hold with I./ZG1? Streib was apparently the Signals Officer of the Gruppe. Did he switch places with Streib in that position? Radusch appears to have been a rather senior officer to have been the NO in the unit. Where did he come from before he was assigned to I./ZG1, and when did that actually happen. Does anyone have any insight into these issues?

Thanx,
