Good morning Paul, I don't know exactly why but Wolfgang von Wild, my grand-pa, is actually well known among persons interested in Luftwaffe. Certainly what Prof. Joel Hayward wrote about his role in Sebastopol helped making him a popular figure. Please, find enclosed the link : http://www.freewebs.com/joelhayward2/earlyjointwarfare.htm http://www.parow-info.de/Parow%201935/vonWild.html (enjoying free time in Parow/North Germany) He was chosen, too, to conduct the last mission of the Luftwaffe; this operation is mentionned in his CV under the link: http://www.geocities.com/~orion47/WEHRMACH...D_WOLFGANG.html I confirmed, as well, the above mentionned document belongs to his military record. I recognize it thanks the name of his wife (my grand-ma) Edeltraut von Wild, born as Countess von Bredow. Best regards. Mark
