Did Godwin Brumowski Ever Visted Germany?

Gentlemen,

Did Godwin Brumowski ever visited Germany in his life during WWI and post-war? He was the most successful Austro-Hungarian fighter of WWI. Given that his language was only German and must have business with the Empire of Germany. I knew that Brumowski was a failure in managing an estate in Transyvania,Romania after WWI.

Sincerely,

Edward L. Hsiao

Gentlemen,

Oops, I mean Godwin Brumowski was the most successful Austro-Hungarian fighter pilot of WWI. I sometimes wonder if Adolf Hitler the dictator of Germany ever had a memorial service of Brumowski. Or at least thought of him. Brumowski never lived to see Austria unite with Germany in 1938.

Sincerely,

He did visit a German jasta on the Western front in 1917. There is a new bio out on him.

Gentlemen,

Sometimes I wonder if Godwin Brumowski ever knew that Adolf Hitler was born in Linz,Austria. Did Brumowski ever supported Hitler the dictator and the National Socialist of Germany in wanting Austria to become part of Greater Germany? In fact I think there were plenty of Austrian war veterans of the First World War,wanted their country to unite and become part of Germany because they were Germans in their hearts themselves even they only held Austrian citizenship. Plenty of them died before Austria actually become part of Greater Germany in 1938. I knew that the Allies after WWI had prevented Austria to become part of Germany.

Sincerely,

Edward L. Hsiao
