Need ID of Stab I./ZG76 pilots/gunners in 1939-40

[Larry Hickey]

Hello,

For the EoE project, I'm attempting to fill out the Stab pilot/gunner crews for I./ZG76.

1) The Gr Kdr's names and dates of service are documented.

2) The Gr Adjs are known as Riegel, Jäger and Loobes. Their gunners are also known. Loobes was KIA 15.8.40. Was there someone assigned to this position after Loobes, even on a temporary basis?

3) The Gr 1a (Ops Officers) are unknown. Any help here would be particularly appreciated.

4) The only known TO officer is Rademacher, who was in the position a/o 1.9.39, but how long he served in that position is unknown, and who might have succeed him is also unknown. We know the name of his gunner.

5) The Communications Officer (NO) is known to have been Lt Karl-Heiz Holborn, who isn't listed in the Luft Off Career Summ DB. Dates of service, and others in this position are unknown, as is the name of his assigned gunner.

6) Maj. Beim Stab reported to have been a Hptm FNU Huchel, but I have no other info on him and he's not listed in the Luft Off Career Summ DB. Was he a flying officer?

We have photo documentation on Stab I./ZG76 aircraft during this period: M8+AB, M8+BB, M8+CB and M8+DD. Is anyone aware of more than four a/c assigned to the Gruppenstab during the 39-40 period?

As always, your help and comments are appreciated.
