Oberleutnant Emil Beutler was member of the "I. Gruppe Sturzkampfgeschwader 2 -

Immelmann".

He was awarded with the Bulgarian "Fliegerabzeichen Adler" .

As it seems that Emil Beutler was KIA and his widow received his decorations I had a look in the Volksbund list and I only found one soldier with this name. May be he is your guy. Sorry, but no rank and no unit is given in the list.

Emil Beutler is MIA since 01.01.1943 .

His name is mentioned in the memorioal book of the cemetary Friedhofe Kursk - Besedino.

Nachname:Beutler
Vorname:Emil
Geburtsdatum:27.04.1918
Todes-/Vermisstendatum:01.01.1943
Todes-/Vermisstenort:Kastornoje / Wyssokoje Bolschoje /

Thanks Gerdan, wonder if he got any other awards, Paul

[Gerdan]

He also got the "Militärverdienstorden V. Klasse mit Krone und Kriegsdekoration", seems to be also a Bulgarian award.
