In the following report we can see the name of Hauptmann Born, kommander of an Arado Staffel (obviously the Aufkl.Gru.126).
I never heard this name. any ideas? Last edited by byron-; 26th October 2011 at 18:39.

And presumably the Karl Born who was author of "Rettung zwischen den Fronten", a history of the Seenotdienst.

Re: Who was Hauptmann Born ???
Thaks gentlemen, but
Karl Born can`t be the one i am looking for. The Rettungsstaffel 7 based in Phaleron had only He 59 and Do 24 (no arados) and they didn`t have an officer named Born (as far as i know of course)

Re: Who was Hauptmann Born ???
A search of our officer career files reveals eight "Hptm. Born"s. Which of these were associated with the Ar 196 is not so clear but with a bit of checking it appears that the one you are looking for is one of:
BORN, Karl. 12.39 Lt.(d.R.), appt Staka 4. Seenotstaffel (to 09.41). 11.09.41 Hptm., appt Staka 9.(Erg.) Seenotstaffel (to 20.10.43). 10.44 Maj., appt Kdr. Seenotgruppe 81 and Seenotstaffel 81 (to 08.05.45). BORN, Karl-Heinz. (DOB: 02.08.13 in Rostock). 10.41 in 3./Aufkl.Gr. 125. 01.03.42 promo to Hptm.(Tr.O.). 07.05.42 WIA. 13.03.43 in Fliegerwaffentechnischen Schule (See). 10.43 appt Major beim Stab in Stab/SAGr. 126. Last rank: Hptm. We suspect that these two may in fact be the same fellow. More information is needed. We hope that this helps. HLdZ DGS

Re: Who was Hauptmann Born ???
Hi Doug and Byron,
Check this site http://www.dornier-wal.com/english6.html which gives the Seenot Karl Born as 1910 to 2004 so I it does not look like the same man. My own interest in him was when I read that after the wars end his unit continued to fly wounded etc. back to Germany under RAF escort, Regards Brian Bines http://www.alteadler.de/aktuell/nachrufe/born.html
