Luftwaffe night ace Heinz-Wolfgang Schnaufer...

Schnaufer had lived for just five years after the end of the war, and was only 28 years old, when death, from which he had miraculously escaped during years of uninterrupted operational combat, claimed him at last. After returning from captivity in Great Britain he took over his parents' wine merchandise shop in Calw. On 13 July 1950 Schnaufer was on a wine buying tour in southern France when he was involved in a car accident between Bordeaux and Biarritz. A lorry driver had taken his right of way and Heinz Wolfgang Schnaufer passed away two days later. His remains were take back to Calw where he found his final place of rest...

The inscription on his gravestone reads:

Here rests the best and undefeated night fighter of the Second World War, Major and Geschwaderkommodore Heinz Wolfgang Schnaufer, 1922 - 1950

Followed by a short piece of verse:

Thee would I salute in the threshing of thy wings,
My heart foretells me triumph in thy name.
Onward, proud eagle, to thee the cloud must yield.

(Text and pictures: copyright by Gerhard Schnecke, 2001)

My father sadly died recently and I visited the Frankfurt main cemetary today. When I left I passed the grave of the von Stülpnagel family, among them General Carl-Heinrich von Stülpnagel who was killed by the Nazis following the 20th July plot. There is also another General von Stülpnagel buried there.
