Re: Staffelkapitan vs Staffelfuhrer?

Right, a Staffelfuehrer could be an NCO with experience, whilst a Staffelkapitaen was always an officer, usually at least Oberleutnant. My uncle was Staffelkapitaen 9. JG 3 as a Hauptmann, but he was also Stellvertretender Gruppenkommandeur of III. JG 3 after the wounding of Balthasar in September, 1940.

Hi

Wim, I think you are positively wrong in your assumption.
