    Hi folks

    I am searching added info on Hptm Herkules Hippe from 4 Ing Insp.

    Apparently he had joined the Fliegertruppe already before the War started.

    Already in the autumn of of 1914 he became commander of an flying unit and until sometimes during 1916 he was commander

    of two further aviation units. On photos he is wearing an observer badge.

    After that I lost the track of him and he probably rejoined the Army. He is not listed in 1919 Dienstalterliste, so he might got killed

    during the War..?

    I have his promotions, but I am lacking date and place of birth as well if he was killed.

    Anyone who have added info on him..?, or hints to come further..?

    :unsure:

    Gunnar

    Hippe is in the 1919 Dienstalterliste as a Hptm. des Ingenieur und Pionierkorps, and in the Ehrenrangliste as a Maj.a.D. He was still on active duty on 27 May 1920, when he was a Hptm. in Techn. Abt. 1, and was commanded to the Inspektion für Waffen und Gerät. However, I do not see him there in the 1 October 1920 Stellenbesetzung für das Reichsheer.
