Oberstleutnant Günther von Scheliha

Gents,

Not sure where to put this as during the Wehrmacht period he did not do much...however I am looking for info if anyone has any to Oberstleutnant Günther von Scheliha. Born 25.3.1873 in Starrwitz. Died 5.6.1941 in Potsdam.

I am not after his ancestory as that is found on various Genealogy sights. For example, his father in-law was Walter Freiherr von Richthofen the brother of Albrecht, who was the father of WWI aces Manfred and Lothar von Richthofen.

There are pretty much no medal, combat or personal details at all in his Wehrpass apart from units and ranks.....he didn't even get round to signing it!

He appears to have served at length with 3. Garde-Regiment zu Fuß

Thanks for any help!
Ian
