4./Seeaufkl.Gru. 126

[byron-]

Dear all,

I have a Staffel Kpt. of 4./Seeaufkl.Gru. 126 (01.12.42-30.09.43) named Oblt.z.S. Kriebel, he replaced as far i know Hptm. Rolf Lemp in 2./A.Gr.125

Question: What was his vorname? Who were his replacers till 10.44?

Have also some pilots of the same Staffel and don`t know the vornames, like:
Oblt. Schäfer,
Oblt. Richter,
Ofw. Kurth,
Ofw. Schlupka,
Ofw. Rupp,
Uffz. Hässler,

Uffz. Winzer,
Uffz. Paduch,
Ogfr. Schramm,
Uffz. Busse

Any help would be appreciated

Kriebel is apparently:

KRIEBEL, Paul.
01.10.41 promo to Oblt.
11.42 Oblt., appt Staka 2.(F)/Aufkl.Gr. 125 (to 05.43).
05.43 Oblt., appt Staka 2./SAGr. 125 (to 09.43).
09.43 appt Staka 4./SAGr. 126 (to 09.44).
20.04.45 promo to Hptm.

This is not to be confused with another fellow in the naval-air units:

KRIEBEL, Siegfried.
c. 06.41 Oblt., appt Staka 2./Kü.Fl.Gr. 906 (to 04.42?).
01.02.42 promo to Hptm.
20.04.45 promo to Maj.


We have nothing on Oblt. Schäfer, Oblt. Richter, who apparently never held a command or staff position, or a higher rank.

The others that you mentioned are too low in rank to be in our files.

Good luck and good hunting!

Michael Holm states that I./AufklGr 125 became I./SAGr 125 on 13.7.1943
Your reply indicates the change was already in May 1943. Can you expand on that please?

Byron/Doug

Byron, you state that Kriebel was St Kap in 4./126 between 1.12.42 to 30.9.43 while Doug states he was St Kap in that unit between 9.43 and 9.44. Any comments?

Cheers
Stig

Yes, the 05.43 date is troubling. I can only conclude that this is wrong. It should read 07.43.

Regarding Kriebel as Staka 4./126, I went looking for who had been the successor and found none. Therefore, I expect that the 09.44 date is likely correct.

i am coming now to this conclusion:

2./Aufkl.Gru. 125 became 4./S.Aufkl.Gr.126 30.09.1943, (? 07.43)

St.Kpt. 2./Aufkl.Gru. 125, 04.41-11.42 Hptm. Rolf Lemp
St.Kpt. 2./Aufkl.Gru. 125, 11.42-30.09.43 Oblt. Paul Kriebel and than continued in the same duty as St.Kpt. of 4./S.Aufkl.Gr.126 till the End in Greece (10.44) according Doug

any other opinion?
