Gentlemen,

Do you have anything about Olaf Richard Wulff's life before,during,and after World War I. He was commander of a monitor flottilla of the Austrian-Hungarian Navy. I tried checking plenty of websites for information about him but not much luck. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Edward L. Hsiao

Gentlemen,

Wulff had won the Maria Theresia Order in 1922 and became a Vizeadmiral in a post-war navy. I knew that he was an Austrian-German but where he was born or when he died I don't know. Still don't know where to "Google" for Wulff's biography. Any more informantion about him?

Sincerely,

Edward

Hi Edward,

There is a footnote on him in General Edmund Glaises von Horstenau's memoirs 'Ein General im Zwielich'. Footnote 505 on page 444 This gives you most of the information.
Kind Regards

Dear Sir,

Thank you so much for this information on Admiral Wulff. Little is known about his life apart from his WWI naval career.

Sincerely,

Edward

In case this is still of interest for you:
In 1935 O.R. Wulff was in the staff (Adjutant, rank "Konteradmiral") of the Hungarian "Reichsverweser" (represnting the Head of State) Nikolaus Horthy
