Re: Hptm. Erich Woitke - Goblet of Honour?
Woitke was appointed Kommandeur of II./JG 52 on 2.11.40 by which time he had 9 claims against Western apponents in addition to 4 claims in Spain, so the award of the Ehrenpokal seems quite logical. However I doubt whether Woitke was ever awarded the Deutsches Kreuz. The latter being a very Nazi political award, Woitke was probably not very "politically correct." Certainly he is not listed among DKiG recipients.
