Hptm Franz Wieting
The above officer was a RK-holder and St Kap of 6/KG 30 killed 20 kms north of Saloniki 29 Jun 41; does any one have the details of how he died and with whom?

Re: Hptm Franz Wieting
Thanks Remi. Behrendt was his normal Beobachter but this now puzzles in that he must have moved from the staff of X Fliegerkorps to 6/KG 30 and then back again

Re: Hptm Franz Wieting
It seems that the II.KG30 stayed within X.FKps till end of may 41 but not sure if losses are considered that they fought , we could find III. on Salu but not II.Group
After this date no spurs of KG30 in the med front Remi

Re: Hptm Franz Wieting
II/KG 30 was with IX Fliegerkorps at Gilze Rijen, moved to Eindhoven in Mar 41, back to Gilze Rijen following month and then to Luftflotte 5 in May 41. III/KG 30 went to X Fliegerkorps in Feb 41

Re: Hptm Franz Wieting
Here is what we have on this fellow:
WIETING, Franz. (DOB: 26.06.11 in Kiel). 01.08.39 Oblt., in A./Fl.Ausb.Rgt. 33. 19.06.40 Oblt. in 6./KG 30, awarded the Ritterkreuz for noteworthy success against enemy warships and shipping in the North Sea. †29.06.41 Hptm., in plane crash during a flight over Bulgaria; other sources place the crash site just north of Salonika/Greece. I have checked Kracker, but he has nothing on this chap. We hope that this helps. HLdZ DGS

Re: Hptm Franz Wieting
Another note I have says he was the St Kap of the Führungskette or the Stab of X Fliegerkorps but whether that was before or after his time with 6/KG 30, I am interested to know! His place of death is recorded in the German War Graves site as 20 kms north of Saloniki and I believe he is buried in Albania
