Karl Meidert

I am looking on Biographical and military career info on the Luftwaffe officer Karl Meidert.
Karl Meidert served as commander in the Herklion airfield, for some time during the occupation of the island.
I am lloking for dates of appointment and relieve, type of aircrafts he was flying (he was a pilot), previous units and military achievments, decorations etc.

Also there is a story between Lord Jellicoe and Commandant Meidert, unconfirmed as it is said that Jellicoe was arrested and questioned by Meidert, after successfully conducting the Sabotage in the Heraklion airfield, Jellicoe an SAS team and Cretan partisans.
I am interested on the attitude of this officer towards the local population.
I cannot find anything on the net, yet either I am not looking on the right spot or there is nothing to find.
Please help.
