Gunnar! Once again you have provided a wealth of details!! Many thanks for your valued information. I will check out ancestry.de for his personal history.

Kindly tell me what sources you used for his military history.

A distant relative only recalled Stajenda stating that he was shot down four times but never was injured/wounded. So much for family lore!

Thank you very much! Walfisch

I'm his grandson. Would you know how I could find any relatives today? 

I did not know all of this information about my grandfather. I started scanning my mother's (Josefs daughter) photos and I came across a post card he wrote to his mother. Dated April 1918. He said he was awarded the iron cross first class and that he was doing well. 

Thank you for the other comments and information about my grandfather. If anyone has more to please comment.
