Executives III/StG 2 1940

[Chris Goss]

Hptm Heinrich Brücker was St Kap 9 Staffel until he took over as Gr Kdr from Maj Clemens Graf von Schönborn-Wiesentheid on or around 15 May 40 so who succeeded Brücker and who were the St Kaps of 7 & 8/StG 2?

Try these 3 in the Career Summaries, especially the last two:

FICKEL, Helmut.
SCHWARZE, Rudolf.
SCHWARZEL, Gunther.

Thanks Larry. Fickel didn't arrive on StG 2 until 1942 whilst Schwarze and Schwärzel were both St Kaps of 9 Staffel but apparently at the same time according to the Summary? Now to 7 & 8 Staffeln-Schwärzel apparently took over 8 Staffel at some time and was still so until his death 24 Sep 42?
