Ewald Karsten
 

Hallo everybody.

Is anybody in this Forum, who can help me.
Im searching for Ewald Karsten, Last Rank Oberfeldwebel.
Has anybody this name by chanche in his lists?
He had the golden front-war-bagde with clasp(?) for reccon. By this number of missions I can't believe, that there was no damage by flak, fighters or Nightfighters with belly- or crash-landig.
I hope anybody can help me.
No german 9office can give me some informtion.

Regards Karsten

I couldn't find him in usual lists

A check of our lists shows nothing, therefore it is unlikely he was an officer.
A check of Tom Kracker’s Archive has yielded a small amount of info on this fellow:

Karsten, Ewald.
Born: 05.03.1910 in Riga/Latvia
17.04.45 a member of 2./KG 200 when he was shot down in a He 111 on a courier flight while en route to Berlin.
He held a Bomber’s operations clasp. – therefore he must have flown a lot of missions
This was mentioned in an article in Jägerblatt 5/2004.



I hope that this helps.
