Hptm Ernst Von Weyrauch

[Chris Goss]

Above served with 2(H)/14 , becoming St Kap 29 Mar 43. He was awarded Pokal, DKiG and when his Staffel was redesignated 1/NAGr 11, was awarded RK. He transferred to I/SKG 10 in Jan 44 only to be killed in an accident in Mar 44. Does anyone have any extra information on him?

Hello Chris. This is the original DKiG of Von Weyrauch, and the Ehrenliste with the name. This award is in my collection since 1998. I don´t have more dates, only the dates of the book of Ernst Obermaier. Regards.

I am afraid that this is all I have on him hence why I asked the question

[Legion Condor]

Thanks Chris.
Gracias Fran. La verdad es que estoy desesperado por conseguir mas informacion sobre este piloto, cuando compre la condecoracion no sabia que estaba grabada con el nombre y me quede alucinado al ver que era un piloto de la LW. He tardado años en enterarme del libro en el que sale su foto.
