Bernhard H.Holst Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 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.Bernhard H.

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!Bernhard H.

hucks216 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernhard H.Holst Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 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. Bernhard H.
