        Remember where the various funeral ribbons come from when they appear for sale, here and elsewhere

        And asking about his wartime items that he had in the context of this thread is beyond rude.

        Stupid people can't understand why men in their 90s have no desire to spend all day replying the same questions from dozens of "new" collectors.

        Give them some peace in their final years by having some basic common sense social courtesy.

          I am writing a biography of Oberst Dr. Ernst Kupfer (St.G.2) and am interested in getting in touch with surviving members of his Geschwader (St.G.2 Immelmann). My interest is not as a collector or autograph seeker, but simply as an author. MY interest is in obtaining anecdotes or personal stories on Dr. Kupfer from those that knew him and served with him. I am also interested in obtaining help in identifying individuls in photos with him. From this thread it seems that there are at least 4 surviving members (Willi Noller, Paul Dose, Hans Krohn, Hans Schwirblat). Do you know of any others? If you have information on how to contact these individuals would you be willing to share it. If you would rather keep that information confidential would you be willing to forward letters to them from me. Please contact me by my private e-mail ednaylor@bellsouth.net . Thank you for your attention.

                i found this post in the internet.
                He had an accident


                Liebe Mitglieder, Kameraden, sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,



                Altkommodore, Oberst a.D. Lothar Kmitta, gestorben



                Es erreichte uns die traurige Nachricht, dass unser

                Altkommodore
                Oberst a.D. Lothar Kmitta

                an seinem Wohnort in Garmisch-Partenkirchen im Alter von 88 Jahren verstorben ist. Er erlag bei einem Verkehrsunfall seinen schweren Verletzungen.
                Unser Mitgefühl gilt seiner Familie.

                An der Seite seiner vor sechs Jahren verstorbenen Frau Anneliese findet er seine letzte Ruhestätte auf dem Friedhof in Garmisch-Partenkirchen.

                Oberst a.D. Lothar Kmitta war von 1964 bis 1969 Kommodore des Jagdbombergeschwaders 36.

                Mit großem Interesse verfolgte er die Entwicklung unsrer Traditionsgemeinschaft.
                Ende 2009 führten wir an seinem Wohnsitz ein langes Gespräch mit ihm. Für das Ems-Köppken IV / 08 erzählte er aus seinem langen und ereignisreichem Leben.

                Wir werden Oberst a.D. Lothar Kmitta nicht vergessen.

                Er ruhe in Frieden

                  I visited Walter Schuck today.
                  Well, he is in a very good health and very fit.
                  This month is his 89th birthday!

                    That is good to hear, Nid - We're hoping to see him again too, my husband, my son and I. Please extend to him our birthday wishes. Does he still have a cartoon of a LW pilot being chased by an RC aircraft on his wall? I gave that to him at Reading in 2007.

                    Sadly, the veterans are leaving us one by one. May their families have peace.

                      Leutnant a.D. Georg Bose is still very alive and kicking.

                      He is still making copies of his three autobiographical Volumes, avaiable here:

                          Mayerl is one of the LW aces I like most.
                          Good to know he is fine!

Unfortunately Ernst was to friendly, when somebody knocked at his door, he let him in.

                            Unfortunately Mr Barkmann isn't the only victim of so called "young comrades". I know a couple of KC holders who got all there awards and docs exchanged by nice guys who proposed to frame them....
