Max Graf Hoyos

Hello,


He was Luftwaffe => he was also the writter from a book dealing with the Spanisch Civil war ( a wartime publication => I do not recall the title for the moment )


Cordial Greetings,

[François SAEZ]

Merci Stijn

I find no trace of him in Rank Lists or award rolls. In fact, the ONLY Graf von Hoyos I find was born in 1845, a rural Deputy and estate owner, possibly his grandfather.

[Ian Jewison]

Is this the same guy?
He is buried: Champigny-St. Andre, France. Block 17 Grave 50

[François SAEZ]

possible, but he had to write the book Stijn mentionned before 1940

Max graf Hoyos

Hello,


I have checked his family status and there are quite a few Graf Hoyos KIA or MIA during WWII.

I have found however only one match :

Max graf Hoyos Freiherr zu Stichsenstein , born at 31.01.1913 : Baumgarten ( Kreis Jauer ) and KIA over the Canal during the Battle of Britain at 12.08.1940 ( near Portland ) as a Hptm. der LW ( Staffelkapitan with a KG ) !!!!!!

So I guess this is the person we are looking for => I do not recall when the book actually was written and printed ( I suppose it is between the end of the Spanisch Civil war & his date of death ! )

Is there anyone who can give the title of the named book ?

Cordial Greetings,

[Stijn David]

the book

Hello,

title : " Pedros y Pablos, Fliegen, Erleben, Kämpfen in Spanien. " , printed originaly by Verlag Bruckemann 1939, Munich

Hoping to be off some help

[François SAEZ]

Many thanks Stijn
