Maj Karl-Heinz Schellmann was the initial Gr Kdr; when did he hand over to Maj Walter Hornung and does anyone know what became of Schellmann?

I have Hornung taking over in Dec 43 after it returned to the Reich.

Dec 43: TGr. 30 ordered to leave Italy and transfer to Kaufbeuren/Allgäu at the beginning of December to rest, reorganize and re-equip with newer model He 111s, including H-20s.
