Looking for information on a member of Luftgaukommando VI - any thoughts?
Hey guys,
I recently found something with teh following inscription: G. M. Flieger H. Ing. Luftwaffen B Kp. 412 VI 68 1941 From what I was told, this is someone from Luftflotte 2, Luftgaukommando VI. Is there any way to find out more information? TIA Mike |

Checking Wikipedia Luftgau Kommando VI was part of Luftflotte 2 from 1938 to the end of 1941. Now to try and decipher who the flyer H.Ing was.
Information usually found on an identification tag. Vince... Last edited by Vince Malfara; 19th July 2016 at 03:03. Reason: Added info |

Hey Mike
I'm still looking, it's a neat learning process for me as well. Finding some info related to that subject - dog tags at other sites like http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com But nothing definitive. I'm sure something will come up....:-) |

Just learned something new, it's not that it's the name of a flyer but actually a designation of a rank for example "Flieger-Hauptingenieur (Fl Hpt Ing)".
More to come as I learn. Vince... |

Hey Mike
I don't think so, from what I have read on other sites the Germans did not place personal information on identification tags, name blood type etc until later on in the war. I think G.M. still leans towards a military / unit designation. IMHO I'll see if I can dig up the reference to the personal information and pass it along as well as what G.M could have stood for. Regards Vince... |
