Small triumph!

[Chris Boonzaier]

Going through some documents today, i see i have a group to Lt. d. Res Otto Schwalm of the I.R. 81.

It is an EK2, EK1, Spange EK2 and WW2 Luft Flak.

There is also a note of a 1932 letter from Kaiser Wilhelm, which I had overlooked. Reading it I see it was to the Regt commander congratulating him on the Regt History which had just come out. In the last couple of lines he mentions he is sending two signed Photos to be given to the 2 officers who wrote the 400 something page Regt history.... one of them is otto Schwalm!

Does anyone have a copy of this book ??

Thanks

Hi Jan,

Did Schwalm do a good job of mentioning himself, or did he avoid that?

I am going to have to buy it at some stage (the history) and would obviously like him to be mentioned a few times :-)

Best
