        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 )

            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.

                  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,
