12.(See)/SG 151

[Stig Jarlevik]

Hi Larry

Checking your book, I immediately notice you have either dropped the Kommandeur Major Heinz Frank or not added him as a possible (your c is dated 2003 while the book is from 2013).

I am however puzzled that you keep Karl Kennel with this unit.
In your book you have him as Kommandeur of II./SG 2 between 29.7.44 - 8.5.45, which very much compromise his listing with IV./SG 151

If I may stick my neck out, I would say that Karl Kennel had nothing to do with IV./SG 151 at all

Heinz Frank was in charge of II./SG 2 from ca 30.6.1944 to 29.7.1944
Heinz Frank was in charge of I./SG 152 from 29.7.1944 (and IV./SG 151 which it became) until his death in October 1944.

Karl Kennel was in charge of I./SG 152 before Frank, possibly as early as Spring 1944 and he was replaced by Frank on 29.7.1944 (they sort of swopped command!)

If Karl Kennel had something to do with IV./SG 151 it then means he was sitting on two chairs at the same time. Nothing unusual as such since I have managed to do that half my life, but then again I was never at war with anyone....

So what do you and everyone else think?

Cheers
Stig
