HAUPTMANN КLAUS-ULRICH EISMANN
 

Hi!
Recently was offered Ehren Pokal of Luftwaffe. It belonged to HAUPTMANN КLAUS-ULRICH EISMANN, he was awarded AM 9.9.42
Can anybody provide me with some more info about him.

Thanx in advance.
Eugene.

Eugene,

The only other item I could find from "Die Inhaber Des Ehrenpokals Fur Besondere Leitung Im Luftkrieg" is that he was a Beobachter (observer).

If you can find an Ehrenliste from that timeframe of his award it will list what branch he served with i.e. recon., bomber etc.

Regards

Jeremy

Wolfgang Dietrich's book Kampfgeschwader 55 "Grief" lists Hans Eismann but the dates match Larry's information/reason for loss so I suspect this is your man. He is also listed as Beobachter.

The balance of the crew lost that day is as follows:

Fw. Gunther Hoyer FF
Uffz. Gunther Reimann BS?
Obgefr. Johann Armani BM
