Hello to all ; a query.......................................
2. (H) / 12:
The 2. Staffel was set up in Stargard on October 1, 1937 from the 2nd / Aufklärungsgruppe 112 and on November 1, 1938 renamed to 2nd / Aufklärungsgruppe 21. On the same day, a 2. Staffel was set up from the 2nd / Aufklärungsgruppe 14 in Münster-Loddenheide. This was equipped with the Hs 126 and used in September 1939 on the western wall. Here it flew reconnaissance missions for the VI. Army Corps. In 1940 the squadron was used during the western campaign over Belgium and northern France. From June 1941 in Russia, the Staffel flew reconnaissance missions for the VI. Army Corps in the central section of the Eastern Front. From May 1942, the squadron was subordinate to Nahaufklärungsgruppe 5.
AFAIK on May 17, 1942 the Hs-126 with Ow Paul Hofmann (returned) and Oblt. Sigfried Lux (POW) crashed due to own anti-aircraft fire.
