Re: 3(K)LG1, 24.07.1940

FF Richard von Maltitz
BO Paul Weilmaier
BF Gerhard Piefke
BS Wilhelm Wachholz

(Source: Die Geschichte des Lehrgeschwaders 1 (Band 1) by Peter Taghon)

Luftwaffe Crash Archive Vol 1 has von Maltitz's first name as Dieter. Luftwaffe Officer Career Summaries has the officer listed under both Richard & Dieter with a proviso that it might be one and the same person.
