Luftwaffe Honor Goblet - info needed.

[Dick Pumphrey]

Gentlemen,
I am trying to help a good friend with some information. Years ago I sold this goblet to this friend. It came out of the estate of another good friend. We are trying to find some information about the original owner. Any and all help much appreciated.

The name and date on the goblet is:
Unterofficier Heinz Gutsche, 18.10.42
Last name might be, "Guitsche" as it's hard to read his writing. Sorry!
Thank you very much.
Regards,
Dick

Dick, there is a Heinz Gutsche listed in the book on Honor Goblet winners:

Gutsche, Heinz Uffz. Bordfunker 26.10.42

There is no Guitsche listed.

Dick,

I found an Ehrenliste for the Ehrenpokal from 26 October 42 which lists Heinz Gutsche (Unteroffizier). Unfortunately the images are not great but it appears Gutsche was with a Bordfliegerstaffel at the time of his awarding.

On the Ehrenliste from 26.10.42 I read "Bordfunker Zerstörerstaffel" for Unteroffizier Heinz Gutsche.

You are probably correct Pierre,

The scan I have is barely legible and in hindsight this would be a more likely unit type.
