Re: Luftwaffe Officer Career database now available
What an excellent source of info on Lw officers! And a truly selfish act of sharing it with everyone interested in the topic. Thank you Larry and Doug!
One of the first names I checked was Lt. Dietric Orth, who trained the Rumanians to fly the outstanding Henschel Hs 129 ground attack aircraft.
What I can add to his bio is his date and location of death, in action: he was shot down in a combat sortie, reportedly by ground fire, at Sviatogorovka, on 1943. Sept. 08. Source: Combat Diary of the Rumanian 8th Assault Group.
