Looking for INFO on Ritterkreuzträger Ofhr. Franz Toth
Does anyone have some information about Ofhr. Franz Toth and his gunner "Johnny" Johann Felsmann od SG 2? They flew a Junkers Ju 87 and probably both survived the war. Ofhr. Franz Toth received the Ritterkreuz very late during the war. Unfortunatly I can't find much information via "google". Thanks alot for any help! Regards - Kurtl

Re: Looking for INFO on Ritterkreuzträger Ofhr. Franz Toth
Regarding Franz Toth, I found this tidbit:
07.09.42 Uffz., pilot awarded the Ehrenpokal. I found this in : Schiebert, Horst. Die Inhaber des Ehrenpokals für Besonderene Leistung im Luftkrieg (Friedberg: Podzun-Pallas-Verlag, 1986). ISBN: 3-7909-0283-7. I cannot find him in any listing of Ritterkreuz holders, so perhaps he had only been nominated for this? |

Wish I know this for sure. I'm trying to find out when he actually received the Ritterkreuz. Could be that he only was nominated for it. Thanks for the informations. I thought there would be more to find about him on the internet, but nothing...

Re: Looking for INFO on Ritterkreuzträger Ofhr. Franz Toth
Gentlemen,
There were plenty of Schlachtfliegers like Hermann Neumann,Hans-Gottfried Schulz,and those who flew over 500 ground attack missions before the end of WWII that had been nominated for the Knight's Cross. Final approval of the Knight's Cross,unknown. Yes I too wonder about the status of Franz Toth getting the Knight's Cross. Sincerely, Edward L. Hsiao |
