Re: Hans-Joachim Marseille
Eric - First, welcome to the forum! There are a lot of really good folks on here with great sources, etc.
As per your question - the PLM has roots in Frederick the Great. It was created in 1740. Frederick was keen on French, so hence the French name for the award. You can check the Wikipedia article on it. As to whether or not the informal name for the award was based on Max Immelmann, I think perhaps it is a possibility. I'd check the Aerodrome forums as well for any information on that. Regards, Cori
