Hi Dave,
Excellent summary regarding the candidates Tiede and Tiedje to be HOH3X awardees.
I have read the BAMA for Lt dL Hans Tiedje, no indication that he received HOH3X.
The BAMA file for the Ace Fritz Thiede has by "mistake" info on the Lt x dR Tiede (P) from FFA 73/FA 41. He was reported krank in May 1917, and later he served at AFP 2 and Idflieg. He joined FFA 73 in Sep 1916, so unlikely an candidate. Did Fritz Thiede receive the HOH3X late 1918 ? Btw, the file for the Pour le Merite holder Hans Klein have documents from three different flyers with that name 😉
I agree regarding Lt dR Ernst Tiede (P) as he was long timer in FFA 55/FA 25. He is rather certain the officer who received the HOH3X on 27.01.1917.
The mitgliederverzeichnis for Bund Bogohl from ca 1923 lists an Lt dL?* Tiedje as member. This society was for former flyers who had served within BAM, KG 2, BG 2 and BG 6 (basically same unit with different namings). From another source he apparently served in BG 2/11 (Bosta 11). *I do not have a copy of the original list, I only have an abschrift from someone who had the list. The original list probably have hometowns. The flyer who received the HOH3X on 22.01.1918 is probably him. I am doubtful regarding Walter..
