Waldemar Felgenhauer RKT

[Richard Mills]

I am trying to ascertain the final flying appointment held by Aufklarungsflieger Hauptmann Waldermar Felgenhauer?

All help will be very well received indeed.

Regards Richard.

Here are a few quick facts (and photo) on F that you may already have:

Felgenhauer, Waldemar Oberleutnant 2.(F)/Aufklärungsgruppe 123
RK 14 01 42
Flugzeugfuhrer (pilot)

not sure if he was a Staffelkapitan but most likely he was.

Wir haben diese:

FELGENHAUER, Waldemar. (DOB: 09.02.14 in Rastatt/Baden). (R). 14.01.42 Oblt., awarded Ritterkreuz, 2.(F)/Aufkl.Gr. 123. 01.03.42 promo to Hptm. 02.45 Hptm., appt Staka 2.(F)/Aufkl.Gr. 122 (to 04.45). (n.d.) retired from the Bundeswehr as a Hptm. †16.11.63 in Würzburg.

So, it appears his final assignment is in dispute. Is it 122, or 123 as Jeremy states?

Thank you very much indeed for your respective input.

Jeremy, can I take it that you listed 2.(F)/Aufklärungsgruppe 123 as the unit he was serving with on receipt of his Ritterkreuz?

If this is the case then it would appear that as Larry alludes to, that his final flying assignment was indeed 2.(F)/Aufkl.Gr. 122, especially taking into consideration the dates being so close to the end of the war.

Thanks again.

Regards Richard.

Richard,

That is correct 2.(F)/Aufklärungsgruppe 123 was the unit he served with at the time of his Knights Cross awarding.
