Nice Luftwaffe decorated flyer

[Jock Auld]

Guys,

From today.  He got around a bit!

Hello Jock.

A very nice find. Indeed he has been around ( Crete ). One wonders if he survived the later actions re. N.Africa, Cholm, Stalingrad and all the others. Would be nice to have a name re. higher decorations or survivor of the war.

I'm not at home right now.   He was KIA in 44. I have a town and his name but not with me. I will  post up the details when I get back.

Hello Jock.

Thanks for your response. I thought you would be on the job. Am looking forward to your next post on this officer ( seemingly flying transport, a used and much abused branch)

BTW: just read in "Der Spiegel" two 500 lbs duds found in Berlin and Koblenz. I understand you are not dabbling in these high-stakes operations to make them safe but I believe there is sufficient  "lighter" stuff around to keep you on the payroll.

Stay safe!

Great photo. It looks like he has a set of Bulgarian aviation wings just above his EK I & Luftwaffe badge. 

Can only agree with Bernhard with regards to the transport units - and from a collecting viewpoint they are very under-rated.

His name is Ernst Weberruss, Gef 1944, Grave Brost-Litowask?

This looks like your man.

Thanks for that Kev, not yet found but one never knows!

Hello Jock and Kevin.

Thank you both.

i noticed that the photo shows this fellow as  Oberleutnant while the Volksbund lists his rank as Feldwebel.

In any case I could not locate a recipient of a German Cross i.Gold recipient by that name.

Possibly Honor Goblet and/or Honor Roll recipient.
