Luftwaffe Rules Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Picked this post card up and it came in today . Very good price considering this gent has been dead since '41, such a waste he was only 29. All the best, Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Gordon Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 JonVery nice postcard. Out of interest, what's was the number of Balthasar's Kills over how many combat flights? It would be interesting to work out his ratio.Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luftwaffe Rules Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share Posted March 6, 2008 (edited) Thank you sir! His total kills were 47 victories over about 300 combat missions, 7 of those being from the Legion Kondor. He never got to see the high killing fields of the Ost Front.

VtwinVince Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Jon, that's a crop of a famous series of stills showing Luetzow, Balthasar and Egon Troha. My uncle stood in for Balthasar and led III. Gruppe during September 1940, when Balthasar was wounded. Troha took over the 9. Staffel from my uncle on October 1, 1940. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
