Question Luftwaffe Veterans in the Austrian Air Force Post WWII

Gentlemen,

Is there a list of Luftwaffe pilot veterans that became generals of the Austrian Air Force after World War II? I know one name Anton Mader, an 86 air to air victory fighter pilot of WWII who was a major general after the war. I think there were quite a few Luftwaffe bomber and stuka pilots that became generals of the post WWII Austrian Air Force. Waiting for your answer.

Artur Pipan,Knight's Cross holder of the Luftwaffe, flew mostly on Stukas during WWII. He rose to a high rank of general in the Austrian Air Force after WWII. Please, more examples of Luftwaffe veterans who became generals of the Austrian Air Force that you can come up.

Re: Luftwaffe Veterans in the Austrian Air Force Post WWII

Given the size of Austrian Air Force it shall be fairly easy to list all ex-WWII personnel. Otherwise why not to ask them directly?

I would ask Austrian Air Force in the first place. The question is about their will to help, but they should have personal files or know, where they were passed.
