With Spreckels

I have never been able to find any loss for him, these usually explain long breaks in pilots claims due to wounds/injuries. But having scrutinizing many flugbücher what is clear is that they were nearly always busy, this might include a period of training, or as a trainer. Seems he is likely to have survived the war.

With his total claims, see my Kurt Ubben thread. The points system might very well explain why his known claims is so much smaller that his total given. Erik Mombeek gives a pretty concise explanation in a section about claims and how they were made/processed, and the points system in his latest publication "Luftwaffe Gallery" "Luck, Fate and Destiny", he uses the claims of Walter Loos as an example.

Kind Regards
