ZG2 StaKa question
During a work on Zerstorer Gr.Kdr. & StaKa database, some problem appeared:
I have very good info about I./ZG2 CO's (expecially in 1940), but very limited info about II./ZG2 (wich is ex-I./ZG52). Does somebody have ANY info about StaKa's of that Gruppe? Any help will be much appreciated.

Re: ZG2 StaKa question
According to Hoffmann, he was with 1/ZG 52 and wounded 19 Jun 40. He never served with ZG 2 as when recovered, he went direct to the Ergaenzungs-ZG Gruppe at Vaerlose

Re: ZG2 StaKa question
Doug
Since I never,before buying the Meyer/Stipdonk books, had any access to St Kap details, I have som questions. II./ZG 2 According to them the unit did not exist in 8.1941, so I am puzzled by your mentioning of Heinz Roeber. 4./ZG 2 + 5./ZG 2 are as per Robert's list 6./ZG 2 is also as per Robert's list, so I am again puzzled about the names you state. I doubt Hollekamp was anything but a member of the Staffel, since no source I have mentions him, when killed, as St Kap. However a verification of your second individual would be nice since he would fit in very well as successor to Heinlein Cheers Stig |

Re: ZG2 StaKa question
THX for answer gents.
But after accurate looking into table (wich gets more and more complete), questions are growing like muchrooms after rain. 1. For 2 Staffel I have Hptm. Groth 01.05.1939>25.11.1939 (moved to Gr.Kdr. II./ZG76) Oblt. Paul Semrau 01.11.1939>??.03.1940 (reason of leave?) Hptm. (first name?) v. Greve ??.03.1940>??? (Actiong?, if not - reason of leave?) Hptm. Hans-Peter Külbel ??.??.1940>12.08.1940 (so he cant be StaKa 4./ZG2) Last was StaKa and Acting Gr.Kdr. I./ZG2 in same time, when Hptm. Ott was s/d and killed on previous day. Oblt. Blume was then StaKa to 1.09.40 - what is a reason of leave? KiA? PoW? Next: I have Oblt. Gottshalk (StaKa 2./ZG2) and Oblt. Kurt Muller (StaKa 3./ZG2) collided, PoW both? Who then were StaKas after them, during almost all September? 2. For 3./ZG2 I have: Oblt. Eberhard Sauer 07.11.1939>5.01.1940 Lt. Hans Roderer (acting?) 5.01.1940 > ??.03.1940 What was a fate of Oblt. Goetz on 25.07.40? S/d? 3. About Gruppenkomandeuren: (correct me pls if I would mistake) Maj. Ernsе Ott Of I./ZG2 and Hptm. Harry Carl of II./ZG2 lead both Gruppen from early july. On 11 Aug. Maj. Ernst Ott was killed by RAF fighters, and Hptm. H.P.Kulbel became Acting Gr.Kdr. I./ZG2 & StaKa 2./ZG2. But on the next day he was himself killed by RAF fighters. Hptm. Christians (from what unit?) became acting Gr.Kdr. of I./ZG2, but till what date? On 16 Aug., was time for II Gruppe, wich lost its Gr.Kdr. Hptm. Harry Carl. Hptm. Eberhardt Heinlein became Acting Gr.Kdr. of II./ZG2. Then (on unknown day) Maj. Karl-Heinz Lessmann becomes Gr.Kdr. II./ZG2, resulting Hptm. Eberhardt Heinlein went to Gr.Kdr. I./ZG2. And finally, on tha last days of ZG2 - 28 Sept. Hpt. Heinlein died in crash, and on 29 Sept. Maj. Lessmann went to Erpr.Gr.210 As Gr.Kdr.

Re: ZG2 StaKa question
Also, Doug:
I have Hptm. Heinz Roeber as Gr.Kdr. of I./ZG2 during 15.04.1942 > 01.06.1942. Also, have here a record Oblt. Ernst Hollekamp of II./ZG2 in summer 1940. If Kulbel cant be StaKa 4./ZG2, may be Hollekamp was?

If there is a statement in our files, it is there for a good reason. We hope that this clarifies things HLdZ DGS |
