Hello Lewis
I did a quick search for him at
www.das-ritterkreuz.de but nothing turned up. Are you sure that he was awarded the Ritterkreuz? I did notice that he had written an autobiography which is available at
http://trove.nla.gov.au/work/2080989...ion=NBD7715780 I wish that I could be of more help but that is all that I can add at the moment.
Horrido!
Leo
