Bob Lyons Posted April 1, 2007 Author Share Posted April 1, 2007 And the last shot of it. Tunic doesn't have a makers lable, but does have a name tag sewn into it at the base of the collar, and that name is for Oberst von Maltzahn, but I can't say if the tag is 100% original to the tunic or not, I will dig up a photo of the name tag and add that a bit further on if anyone is interested.Hope you like the photos,CheersBob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Lyons Posted April 2, 2007 Author Share Posted April 2, 2007 Tracked down the scans I have on disc, so here they are, first up is the name tag in the collar.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Lyons Posted April 2, 2007 Author Share Posted April 2, 2007 I acknowledge that anyone can add a name tag, so I can't say for sure that this tunic did belong to von Maltzahn, but maybe I can one day find a decent shot of him with his awards as an Oberst, and maybe match up the loops...Here is another shot of the eagle, this is scanned ...

Sprocket Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 The things I find on the internet, here is a 4 pocket tunic, maybe it is his, .. Loved the stupid show when I was a kid, so had to throw this in here... sorry!!BobLook where they pinned the 1939 Clasp to the EK1... what a bunch of dummies! Major Haukstetter was the real anomally on the show. Also, here is a Luftwaffe Stalag and Klink's superior officer was an ARMY General. Also, officers and enlisted did not share the same camps and Lebeau would have been shot by the Gestapo as a partisan (criminal). Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprocket Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Not to take away anything from the original tunic posted here... really nice... would love to have an Oakleave recipient tunic to my collection. But I do have this Oberleutnant dress tunic and white linen vest that belonged to fighter ace and Knight's Cross winner Klaus Bretschneider, JG-300 with 34 victories including 14 at night in 20 sorties flying the FW-190, part of Hajo Herrmann's "Wilde Sau". He was KIA on 24 December 1944, probably shot down by a Mustang from the 357th Fighter Group (Chuck Yeager and Bud Anderson's outfit) during the Battle of the Bulge, although he was attacking the bomber forces. Enjoy,Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprocket Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 (edited) Here is a close up of the beautiful droop tailed silver bullion breast eagle. These are three paintings done by aviation artist Keith Ferris showing Bretschneider's FW-190 in action. The one below left is a reverse of his famous mural in the National Air & Space Museum in Washington, D.C. Bretschneider was a favorite of the artist.
