Walter Strobel (3./StG2) - Staka or not?

According to intelligence report of 218.NBAD, Lt. Walter Strobel (became a POW 29.May.43) is mentioned as Staka 3./StG2 (obviously from his own words). Is it true (about his appointment)?

Best regards,
Andrey

The Staffelkapitän of 3./StG 2 was Oblt. Richard Czekay from March to September 1943.

Andrey -

Very doubtful. The Gen.Qu.(6.Abt) Verlustmeldungen do not identify him as either a Staka or Stafü. He was only a Leutnant. However, we cannot exclude the possibility that in the absence of any higher ranking officers left in his Staffel he might have been the acting Staka for a few days.

STROBEL, Walter. 29.05.43 Lt., 3./St.G. 2 MIA - Ju 87 D-3 (T6+HL) lost in Pl.Qu. 7522 due to AA.

The above is taken directly from the Verlustmeldung.

Thank you! So he was the acting Staka at that moment or for some reason has "promoted" himself in his statement.

Is it known, what he became a POW?

Best regards,
Andrey
