Re: KG 53 Staka March 1944 (Bautz?)
Hi Richard and Thomas,
My entry was taken from Kiehl. This is purely a guess, but either Kiehl had no information covered this 14-month period or someone had been serving as acting or probationary Staka (probably Bautz) and the formal appointment did come come through until 15.11.44. Bautz was a Kriegsoffizier (Kr.O.) so his appointment as a Staffelkapitan would not have been immediate. Not having held command of a Staffel before, his appointment would not have become officially formal until his Gruppenkommandeur and Kommodore were satisfied with his performance. But I must confess, 14 months is an extraordinarily long time. L.
