8/KG30

Afternoon

Anyone know who was Staffelkapitan of 8/KG30 in January 1941?

Also I have the Gruppenkommandeure as Hauptmann Arved Crüger but other sources give it as Hauptmann Schumann.

Can anyone assist along with service dates, etc?

Cheers

James

Re: 8/KG30

Crüger was Gr Kdr until replaced by Herrmann in Aug 41. From memory, I have Gerhard Metzenthin as St Kap on 8/KG 30 but from when, I would have to dig deeper

Re: 8/KG30

Oblt Dietrich Marwitz was St Kap until 27 Oct 40 and I have Metzenthin as being St Kap in Sicily in 1941. If I have time, I will look for more but hope that someone might be able to add something more in the interim

I have Oblt. Dietrich Marwitz (Ju88A-1; 5J+HS; wnr. 6048; 8./KG4) lost to AA fire off Yorkshire coast (possibly off Redcar) on 28 October 1940.

Re: 8/KG30

From a previous strand I can see that Gerhard Metzenthin was part of Staka 2./Erg.KGr. 6 between 01.11.40 and 20.03.41
