Radusch/Streib - St.Kap. - 2./ZG 1 ??

[Marcel Hogenhuis]

Hello,

First, the date of 6 June 1940 is very abritrary. For instance, the unpublished history 'Kriegsgeschichte der I.Gruppe Zerstörer-Geschwader Nr.1' remains silent about any personel changes on this date.

The unpublished 'Die zehnjährige Geschichte der I./NJG 1', written by the I./NJG 1 waepons officer W.Stahn' however, it becomes clear that Hptm. Horst Lehrmann was Staffelkapitän 2./ZG 1. Just before the I./ZG 1 (minus 1./ZG 1) left Le Havre and moved to Düsseldorf, Oblt. G.Radusch took over from Lehrmann. When Gruppenkommandeur W.Falck was appointed Geschwaderkommodore NJG 1 on 26 June 1940, Radusch became Gruppenkommandeur of the I./NJG 1. The new Staffelkapitän of the 2./NJG 1 was Oblt. W.Streib.

Best regards, Marcel
