STEVE,

Me too, am looking for information you may have about this airman. I researched some BAUMGARTNER on the Luftwaffe for personal interest. NO projects for books, etc...just to know, how many namesakes flew for the Luftwaffe, etc...There were quite a lot indeed, including into the Whermacht, Gebirgsjägers, etc.

Yours,
Adriano Silva BAUMGARTNER

At least 19 Baumgartner involved in aircraft crashes + additional 7 Baumgärtner.
