Re: Bordfliegerstaffel 1./106

Done some further digging and here is the info I found.
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Storp:
Quote:
From May to September he was a pilot aboard the heavy cruiser Admiral Scheer, participating in the ship's first cruise of the Spanish Civil War in August 1936.[
Admiral Scheer was part of the Non-Intervention patrol during the Spanish Civil War. Its role was ostensibly to prevent foreign intervention in the Spanish Conflict, though Scheer did keep tabs on and give information to Franco's forces on Soviet ships in its later patrols. As such it was not part of the Condor Legion. In fact the Condor Legion itself was in its infancy in August 1936. The seaplane squadron AS./88 did not get up and running until October 1936 when Storp was no longer in the area. So there is no record of or real opportunity for the two forces to cross paths.
As to Harlinghausen, he arrived in Spain to take over command of AS./88 the end of 1937 when Storp was long gone so there is no overlap between him and Storp.
They did not serve in the same unit (Kriegsmarine/Anti-Intervention - Storp; Legion Condor-Harlinghausen) or at the same time ( August 1936-Storp, Jan. 1938-Dec. 1938 Co. AS./88 - Harlinghausen)
