Hi,

Wehrmacht Oberst was Hubert Strohmaier, later Generalmajor.

österr Bundesheer
III/AR 102 01.04.38
III/AR 102 01.09.39 - 12.09.40
AR 94 25.10.40 - 15.05.42
Geb AR 112 20.09.42
AR 373, 373 (kroat) Tigar Div Frühj 43
SS Arko 111 07.08.44

He was a Flugzeugbeobachter bei Flieger Komp 49 u 19 during WW1. Could the badge underneath the DKiG be the österreich flugzeugpilotenabzeichen when Austria secretly started training its airforce?

Cheers
Elwyn
