Re: Major d.R. Helmuth Wendel - KG4 General Wever
As far as I can see the two Wendel brothers were Ltn Hellmuth and Ltn Hewarth
Wendel who served with Ernst Udet in Jasta 15 in Dec 1916 - at least May 1917.

In June 1917 Udet transferred over to Jasta 37 and it seems possible both brothers followed Udet to his new unit. I have no real evidence for this except the statement regarding Kettenhund.

Ltn Hellmuth Wendel claimed one victory during his career, 16.4.1917 when he scored against a Nieuport over Prouvais.

Cheers
Stig
