Oberstleutnant Georg Greiner
Apologies for the short delay but I have to report, sadly, the death of my close friend, Oberstleutnant Georg Hermann Greiner, the holder of the Knight's Cross with Oak Leaves.
Georg passed away on 26th September 2014 in Wangen im Allgau at the age of 94. Georg finished the war as Gruppenkommandeur of IV./NJG 1 with 51 victories. He was a connoisseur of fine art and wine, and an accomplished pianist. Georg was a humanist who struggled with what the war had demanded of him and its cost to both sides, spending his post war life coming to terms with its consequences. He was a gentle man who enriched the lives of those he met. His death is felt as deeply as any family member.
