            As you can see, the old boy didn't pass on until mid-May 1977. His last thought was probably to wonder where his papers and photos had gone!

            Gen. Deßloch was one of the better Luftwaffe generals. He spent 1945-48 in England as a guest of His Majesty's Government and assisted Air Ministry Intelligence and the Air Historical Branch with many projects.

                Very interesting album, with great photos. The last telegram is congratulations from Goering on the Flakkorps destroying its' 200 armored vehicle. It looks like the Knight's Cross document is signed by General Kastner.

                          #33 'Just a few more, Deszloch and another officer.'

                          For your reference the other officer is Hans Seidemann (http://www.geocities.com/~orion47/WE...MANN_HANS.html). Great stuff!

                            The card reads''deutscher einmarsch in Paris''What means ''German parade in Paris''Most likely a victory parade but very nice pictures and documents.

                              In addition to #33, #24 and #34 are both Siedemann. In #24, pilot on left was Hellmut Bruck, Geshwader Kmdr of StkuaG 77, from which a lot of the RKTs here came from.

                              Cheers
