Hello,

I am looking for any info about Leutnant der Reserve Friedrich Demandt (1892 - 1917). During the First World War he served in the Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 45 and Jagdstaffel 10 (Jagdgeschwader Richthofen).

May be somebody has a book "Das Infanterie-Regiment (8. Ostpreussisches) Nr. 45 (Insterburg-Darkehmen) im Weltkriege 1914-18" written by Kurt Hennig? In this book there is information about him?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,

Igor
