Thanks for all of that additional information, Jeremy. I have included it in Sartor's bio sketch in my data base. Complete information like that can only be found in readily available sources for the Lw. generals and the Generalstabsoffiziere d.Lw. For all of the other 120,000 officers of the Luftwaffe, one must get the information piecemeal from BA-MA or buy their SBs and WPs!
