Lt. Hans Schmid, I/ZG52
Gentlemen: Some time ago Larry Hickey made an inquiry about this pilot. I offer the following for discussion. Theo Boiten and Gerhard Aders,in their respective works on nightfighters, make mention of a Hptm. Hans "Schmidt"(Boiten) or "schmied"(Aders) as having survived the war with a score of 16 night... and 15 day victories as a Zerstorer pilot. He apparently served with NJG3 and NJG100. Allowing for variations in spelling of a very popular name, I would be tempted to suggest that this may be the Lt. Hans Schmid of I/ZG52-II/ZG2 of 1940. I know of no other pilot by that name who is known to have scored at least 13 victories, or more as Larry suggests, as a Zerstorer pilot. Furthermore, and excepting that pilots often were transferred, 1/ZG52 had become 4/ZG2 and subsequently 4/NJG3 in Sept.1940. Can anyone comment further on this? Dean
