On 1 July 1935, "Leutnant" Mölders was posted to "Fliegergruppe Schwerin" (I./JG 162 "Immelmann"). On 7 March 1936, during the remilitarisation of the Rhineland, Mölders and his squadron ("Staffel") were moved to Düsseldorf. During this period, Mölders met Luise Baldauf, whom he was to marry a few years later, shortly before his death. On 20 April 1936, Adolf Hitler's birthday, numerous promotions were handed out, and Mölders advanced to "Oberleutnant", effective as of 1 April 1936. At the same time, he became leader of the fighter training squadron of the 2nd Group of "Jagdgeschwader" 134 "Horst Wessel". This group was under the command of "Major" Theo Osterkamp, who became another of Mölders' early mentors. Mölders was appointed squadron leader ("Staffelkapitän") of the 1st squadron of "Jagdgeschwader" 334 on 15 March 1937 and served as an instructor in Wiesbaden.
