Oblt Hinrich von Donner: Galland adjudant?
 

Hello,
I would like to have information on an officer who is not in the Luftwaffe Officer Career Summaries list (Henry L. deZeng IV and Douglas G. Stankey)
In a photo in Werner HELD's book, "Adolf Galland, Ein Fliegerleben in Krieg un Frieden",
There is a photo of Galland in 1942 and it is said that at his side is his adjutant and friend: Oblt Hinrich von Donner
Thanks for your help
Fredo

He is there but the name is incorrect-Oblt Conrad Hinrich Frhr von Donner. He was killed 8 Mar 44 with Stab General der Jagdflieger
