Does anyone have any information about this Luftwaffe colonel? Apparently he was with the technical department until Göring appropriated him for the four year plan.

    Does anyone know anything about his family? He was married to an ancestor of mine and I am trying to find any descendants.

    Also any information on photos posted? One of the men in the photo looks like Joseph P. Kennedy Senior.
