Hi Larry. Max Kuessner was a patient of mine in Johannesburg,South Africa.
He died of a stroke Easter weekend 1994.
I got a lot of photo's from his daughter when he died but he refused to talk about the war.
He told me he was with JG 26 and flew sometime during the BOB until his eardrum burst flying with a cold during the BOB.
He had a Solbuch stating the following
In service 1/11/39 Obergefreiter
1/12/41 Unteroffisier
3/9/44 Fallschirm-Oberjager
He went to the Fallschirmjager after he was grounded and he told me he went to Russia.Had a terrible time there that he refused to talk about.
Very quiet nice chap.
Loved swimming and apparently swam for either some region in Germany or Germany itself.
What do you have on him??
I would like to know if he had any kills.
Hope it helps
Stefaan
