Luftwaffe major alfred droste

[michael leone]

Is there any way of getting I for on a particular luftwaffe major ,as I recently, obtained a visor cap with the name hauptman alfred droste with hauptman crossed out and major penciled in below it.
I will try to post some pics of the visor as well once I get home. It is a very nice erel extra visor. Thanks for your help. I think he may may have been born on November 1, 1913.

DROSTE, Alfred. 01.11.41 promoted to Maj.

Thanks simon for your help! Alfred graf droste vischering und nesselrode reichenstein ? Could he be the same person. I found him when doing a google search and it says he was killed in 1941 in the Ukraine . Any idea what branch of the luftwaffe major droste served? Where can I obtain the materials to provide this info. Thanks, mike

In my case ranklists and various works on the higher awards of the luftwaffe.

No i dont think its that Droste. No indication unfortunately of branch of service.
