General Alfred Mahncke

Gentlemen,

I think I know who who was that Luftwaffe officer in the photo above. His slender face looks life Alfred Mahncke,a WWI flying veteran. I read a book called "For Kaiser and Hitler" (The Memoirs of Lutwaffe General Alfred Mahncke,1910-1945) and remembered reading something about his big participation in organizing the 1936 Berlin Olympics. He was awarded the Olympic Decoration 1st Class.


Sincerely,

Thank you so much Edward. I do believe you are correct. This fits in quite well with Mahncke's role as President of the Reich Air Sports Formation 1935-1937.
