Hi

Looking after some info regarding former LW pilot Paul Günther.
Were was he under the war?

After the war he started the Company Günther Flugspiele.

Andy,

Do you have any rough idea as to what branch of the flying personnel he belonged to i.e. bombers, fighters recon, stuka etc.???

Andy,

Assuming this is your man there is a Fahnenjunker/Feldwebel Paul Günther who served with 9./Schlachtgeschwader 10 and was awarded the RK on 2 Feb. 1945.

Cheers

Andy,

Here is where I found his info.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Knight's_Cross_recipients:_G

No list of awards beyond the RK but at a minimum I think the regular suspects would have been awarded:

Pilots badge
EK2
EK1
German Cross in Gold (likely)
spange bronze - gold (perhaps beyond i.e. numbered and perhaps for units other than ground attack)
