Hi Chris,
I can confirm for 1./606: Lenschow (no dates unfortunately), while I have Heßling in charge from 4.8 - 22.8.41 2./606: Lassman from as early as Sept 1938 3./606 All three, with Golcher as early as 1.11.1939 Hope this helps. |

Re: St Kap KuFlGr/KGr 606
I assume that your interest concerns the "new" Gruppe 606 that was ordered formed on 25.10.39 with Stab, 1., 2. and 3. Staffel.
Gruppenkdr. was Oberstleutnant Edert. Sta.Ka. for 1./606 was Hptm. Lenschow Sta.Ka. for 2./606 was Hptm. Lassmann Sta.Ka. for 3./606 was Hptm. Golcher (in all reports his name is written as shown and not Golscher) The same guys were still in charge 20.05.40. |

Re: St Kap KuFlGr/KGr 606
Some further investigations show that Gr.kdr. Edert was replaced by Major Hahn from about July 1940. The Staffelkapitäne continued as mentioned in my first posting. The last report I have is for 15.09.40 and show that Hahn, Lenschow, Lassmann and Golcher were still in charge.
