Trying to trace a pilot of aufklarer to RK medal grouping

[bratwurstdimsum]

Hi all,

I am very interested to trace the original owner of these medals:

The dealer who sold these on picked them up in Regensberg, Bavaria at a 2010 house clearance.

1957:

• RK
• Front Clasp for Recon in Bronze, Silver and Gold
• EK1
• EK2
• Gold Wound badge
• Silver Wound badge
• Black Wound badge

Pre 1945 anhanger:

• 200,
• 400,
• 500.
• 600

flights

These Gentlemen are my shortlist because they passed away in the Bavarian state.

1. Richard Taubert AufklGrp 122 / 5.(F) B: 29/07/1911 - Eger/Sudetenland D: 24/06/1959 - München
2. Paul Birnkraut FernAufklGrp 121 / 1. B: 08/04/1919 - D: 01/01/1987 München
3. Wilhelm Sell NahAufklGrp 5 B: 15/06/1910 - Schweinfurt D: 14/01/1998 - München
4. Fritz Aechtner NahAufklGrp 5 / 1. B: 04/03/1916 - Nürnberg D: 01/05/2007 - Nürnberg
5. Karl-Heinz Baader Nahaufkl.Gr. 5 B: 25/03/1916 - München D: 18/02/1966 - München"

But these recon pilots are also possibilities because I have not been able to ascertain where they died.

• Fritz Schurmeyer
• Cornelius Noell
• Erich Schmitt
• Hans Heindorff
• Martin Meisel
• Gerhard Reinecke
• Erich Stumpe
• Ludwig Wagenfeld
• Alfred Nitsch
• Siegfried Knemeyer
• Helmut Steffen
• Paul Felder
• Franz Hessinger
• Ernst Schobitz
• Karl Hutten
• Hans Muller
• Karl-Heinz Wilke
• Konrad Pollath
• Willy Hofmann
• Dr. Wolfgang Schulze

See the thread below for more details

Is anyone able to provide me a list of pilots who have:

• flown 600+ missions
• Received the gold wound badge
• who qualified for all 3 grades of the recon clasp in an AufklGrp

Thank you all

Can I be more specific then, does anybody have a record of how many flights these RK trager flew? I would especially like to know if any of them came close to 600 flights. I have already looked in http://www.ww2.dk/lwoffz.html but cannot find info on flights specifically.

• AECHTNER, Fritz
• BAUER, Joachim Albrecht
• HESSINGER, Franz
• SCHULZE, Wolfgang, Dr.
• SELL, Wilhelm
• STRASSMAIR, Hannes (Hans)
• WOLFF, Hans
