Re: Erich Etienne-Nazi Polar Explorer
He was a German Geophysicist, Pilot and Exployer. I never saw his nazi party papers, but I am assuming that since he was a pilot of the luftwaffe and received after his death the 2nd highest decoration just under the Knights Cross, he was definately an important figure in the German movement. BTW..I think he was flying a HE 111 (equipped with skis) when his plane was shot down. From my research, only one other was killed in the crash.
