Babes In The Woods.......

Guess who I am! I was a famous German Ace, I won the Pour Le Merite, I died in the cockpit........ Here I am in a rare family portrait before I became famous....

Who am I?

[Mike Huxley]

Hmm .... is it Lt Gustav Leffers from Jasta1. Pour le Merite winner .. killed in action Dec 27, 1916

Yep! Very Good, the first attempt!

[Guest Rick Research]

I think I know which brother THIS was:

[attachmentid=7144]

just need to confirm he's the Dead One Who Got the PLM:

[attachmentid=7145]

because THREE brothers (two killed) and a cousin all wore THIS uniform.

What, no guesses on Rick's "twins"?? C'mon! (I am disqualified)

[Guest Rick Research]

Ah, too obscure. Not as readily identifiable as Leffers very distinct "blond Vladimir Putin" face.

Mine is ONE of the von B?low brothers from Brunswick Hussars Regiment 17-- i am inclined to think it is Walter, the Pour le Merite ace, from his nose and jawline.

This is the teenaged puppy fat of not seen any war yet, 1914.
