The Prussian Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 (edited) Hi Christer! I won´t anything wrong, but I haven´t found him in the list. But don´t be shy to ask Thorsten of the following website: http://www.frontflieger.de/2-jg1portrait.html Edited June 26, 2013 by The Prussian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christerd Posted June 26, 2013 Author Share Posted June 26, 2013 Thanks ! Nice to close the question about this one I thought he should have a flying badge , and not anyone close to be named Wieshofer in JG 1 He must have been some sort of staff Off during WW II , I suppose .

Glenn J Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Rick, Christer, Not commissioned by the 1917 K.u.k. Heer Liste Indeed he was not. That is because he was k.k. Landwehr officer. He was commissioned into k.k. Schützenregiment Nr. 24 on 1 August 1916 (4177). He is not shown with any decorations in the 1918 Ranglisten der K.K. Landwehr. He apparently was a Luftwaffe transport officer with the rank of Hauptmann d.R. z.V in WW2. Regards Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
