Re: Hptm. Erich Woitke - Goblet of Honour?
Very interesting, Horst. I can't comment on the authenticity of this Pokal, but Woitke was a very interesting personality. He competed in the 1936 Olympics and had been a front-line pilot since the beginning of the war. Apparently he was reduced in rank on more than one occasion for speaking his mind with superiors. He was awarded the DKiG in 1944 by Goering for his superb leadership in combat whilst commanding Stab. III. JG 1. I'm still on the hunt for the Pokal awarded to my uncle, Hauptmann Dr. Albrecht Ochs, in October 1940.
