Poldi Wenger

Dear All,
Leopold 'Poldi' Wenger was awarded the Knight's Cross, according to DeZeng and Stankey http://www.ww2.dk/Lw%20Offz%20-%20S-...Apr%202019.pdf and to this website https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmXoypizjW3WknF...ld_Wenger.html
However, Obermaier does not mention him in his book 'Die Ritterkreuzträger der Luftwaffe / Jagdflieger'. Why? Or does he mention him anywhere else (maybe as a bomber pilot or something)?
Thank you in advance.

Re: Poldi Wenger

Dear Chris,
Thank you very much for your answer. By the way, could you, please, send me a scan of the page from Obermaier's book with Poldi's biography? I wouldn't like to buy the whole book just because of Poldi. :-)

Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards,
Teresa
