Wolf-Dietrich Wilcke at Stalingrad

Gentlemen,

Well-known photo depicts Maj. Lutzow handling the command of JG3 to hpt. Wilcke at Tusow on August 12, 1942. It is announced that Wilcke became also operational head of German fighters in Staligrad area, suprisingly having the rank of Hauptmann.
Questions are: 1. When Wilcke was officially promoted to Major?
2. Were there any special reasons for not promoting him to Major before making him Geschwadercommodore or at least in the nearest future after the appointment (maybe his strong anti nazi position)?

TIA
