UntOff. Hans Heinrich Marwede

Hans Heinrich Marwede was a former Kest pilot who was assigned to Jasta 67 in June 1918.  Between then and 3rd October he accounted for the DH9 of Goodale and four observation balloons.  He was captured after his fifth victory on 3rd October when his D VII was hit by ground fire from the American 6th Balloon Company.  The whole episode was recorded on film by a US Signal Corps photographer.  Marwede ended up under American guard, bruised and dejected.  He later rose to the high rank in the Luft-waffe, but Marwede lost his life in a flying accident before World War 2.
