Oberst Helmut Theodor Gotthilf Wilhelm von Osterroht

[Deutschritter]

I am looking for a picture of Oberst Helmut Theodor Gotthilf Wilhelm von Osterroht, he was born 19 January 1894 and died after 1957. Can anyone help? Thank you!

Is it v. Osterroth or are there 2 distinct families?

[Deutschritter]

Yes, there are von Osterroht and von Osterroth, see „Gothaisches genealogisches Taschenbuch der briefadeligen Häuser“ 1909, 1911, 1917 and 1919 ... they often get mixed up. Helmut(h) is a von Osterroht. One of his older brothers was Hauptmann Paul Henning Aldabert Theodor von Osterroht (1887--1917), Alder Adler and Flieger-As (Jasta 12).
