Name of Generalmajor
 

Hi, guys.

On 21st August 1944 (21.08.1944) a Fi 156 of Kdo.Fl.H.Ber.6/XVII was shot down in a place called Doboj. The pilot reported in the first report was a Obgfr. Wichmann, he was then reported as wounded in the accident.

A correction was reported on October 9th 1944, adding another pilot, a Generalmajor which name I can not read, please see the scan below:

And then finally, on the 16th December 1944, the pilot Wichmann is stricken, which would indicate he was unhurt in the accident.

Can anyone read the name of the Generalmajor?

Regards,
Andreas
