III./KG 4 renamed III./KG 30

Sometime in mid-October 1940, III./KG 4 was renamed into III./KG 30. Is there an exact date known for this name change and the dissolution of the old III./KG 30?

Re: III./KG 4 renamed III./KG 30

from Kriegschronik of 7./KG4 source here https://invenio.bundesarchiv.de/inve...-3be15e78c97a/ page 41
This is the last mission the squadron flies in the General Wever combat squadron. On October 16, 1940, the III./KG4 is transfered to the KG30 as III./KG30, on the orders of the Commander-in-Chief.

Respectfully
Tomas
