Christian L Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 w?rttemberger who got something from coburg-gotha (perhaps both combat awards after his home state one)not a that "big" guy in ww2 (no wiederholungsspange for the ek - got "only" a kvk)perhaps there exist a w?rttemberger unit where a royal from saxon-cobutg-gotha was commander or chief of it and the awardee was in ww2 a "paper-fighter" at a luftwaffe office table.- to many thoughts i shouldn't do without any knowledge about research and without having ranklists or anything similar ...

Bob Hunter Posted June 27, 2005 Author Share Posted June 27, 2005 Christian, check out the bar to Generalleutnant Weidinger in the Research Forum. He was a WWII retread and Inspector of Army Flak Troops for OKH. He also had a KVK2x as highest award for the war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Neal O'Connor found exactly SIX aviation recipients:Manfred Freiherr von Richthofen we can scratch right off the "WW2" listA Lt Hans Imelmann (not THAT Immelmann) was likewise killed in WW1Lt G?tz von Scheve had other awards,as didHptm Hugo GeyerThe two I can NOT find any record of either receiveing the WF3aX/WF3bX or Luftwaffe service for wereHptm Arthur Sieler of IR29 (a flyer by 1914, so Neal shouldn't have missed his other awards) andOberlt Walter Heymann (I believe of Hessian IR 116, which would rule HIM out)Sieler "fits" best for time-- Lt 1905, Oberlt 1914, Hptm 1915, char Major aD but I just don't have the rest of the jigsaw puzzle pieces.Of course, this COULD just as easily be a NON aviator group, and yet another artillery-to-flak guy.Insufficient data at this time.
