Kampfgeschwader 30 Signatures

[Richard Mills]

I am currently researching two Soldbucher from former members of Kampfgeschwader 30, and am having difficulty in putting names to signatures.

They both served primarily within I./Kampfgeschwader 30 however, they both also spent time in IV./Kampfgeschwader 30 also.

There are several signatures which I need help with, and I shall post them piece by piece, starting with the attached from Page 3 of one of the Soldbucher which all relate to 2./KG 30 and Stab KG 30.

As always any help whatsoever will be very well received.

Regards Richard.

In the hope that identification might become easier; I have attached another example of the signature in entries No 2 and No 3 above;

[Richard Mills]

...and another example of entry No 4.

Finally, another example of the signature in entry No 5 from the same Soldbuch.

All help as alays will be very well received.

Regards Richard.

Hi.,

Last one for me Reisinger

lilsis

Many thanks indeed for your help with this, both on this thread and via PM.

Using Larry & Doug's Luftwaffe Officer Career Summaries;

With regards to entries No 2 & No 3;

The only Stahl I can find that 'might' be match is below however, there is no info for the time period of July-1941 but he is the only KG 30 Oblt. that I can find.

STAHL, Alfons. (DOB: 09.09.16). 17.01.43 Hptm., appt Staka 11./KG 30 (to 04.06.43?). 04.06.43 Oblt., 8./KG 30 MIA - Ju 88 A-4 (4D+ES) lost vic Algiers to unknown cause.

For entry No 4, your suggestion of v. Goldacker is spot on!

GOLDACKER, Joachim von. (DOB: 23.08.11). 1941 trf to I./KG 30. 1941 trf to 10./KG 30. 1942 trf to 1./KG 30. 1942 appt Staka 2./KG 30. 01.04.43 in IV./KG 30, promo to Hptm. 09.08.43 Hptm., awarded Ehrenpokal. 17.09.43 Hptm. and Staka 2./KG 30. 1944 appt flight instructor with LKS 3. 1945 appt Stafü 1./NSGr. 30.

For entry No 5, rather than Resinger, how about Reisiger which I think is the man in question?

REISIGER, Rudolf. 1940 with 2./KG 30. 20.10.41 Lt, awarded the Ehrenpokal. IV./KG 30. 01.01.44 promo to Hptm.

Thanks again lilsis, it is much appreciated.

Can anyone add anything else, or confirm the above? All help will be gratefully recieved.

Regards Richard.

Ursula and Gerhard, thank you both very much indeed for your help with these.

Heinrich Paepcke was a nice surprise! I was not expecting a posthumous Eichenlaubtrager signature!

I hope to post some more later today, thanks again.

Regards Richard.

Some more......

Oberleutnant u. Stafu. 11./Kampfgeschwader 30, dated 28-September-1943.

[Richard Mills]

This is the last one from the first of the two KG 30 Soldbucher, and I will be amazed if a name can be derived from this!

Buried among the attached are 2 signatures, dated October-1943 the original holder transferred from 11./Kampfgeschwader 30 to 12./Kampfgeschwader 30 at this time.

Any help will be gratefully received.

Regards Richard.
