Ah, Bulldog David tenaciously on the scent of White Falcons. Yes, Crienitz got a SWF3bX in 1915 as Hauptmann Inf Rgt 87 in Feldflieger Abteilung 27, XVIIIth Army Corps.

Hello,

Hehehe, Bulldog David (thats a new one ).

So Crienitz is one of the more suspected ones, he will stay on the list untill the Mecklenburg & Halburg roll are present.

But now lets check the otehr prime suspects that are still on the list and see if we can rule them out

Cordial greetings,

Do we know when exactly he went aD? Because if he was in that early, he might already have had an XXV.

Not unless he had served overseas before 1914-- he would not have had enough "double time" for an XXV-- only "23 pension years" 1903-1920.
