Recovering from his wounds, he transferred to the German Air Service and often flew as an observer for Eduard von Schleich while assigned to FAA 2b. Flying the Albatros D.III, he scored his first three victories with Jasta 34. In the summer of 1917, he joined Jasta 6, becoming Staffelfuhrer on 30 August 1917. He was killed in action near Langemarck when his Albatros D.V was shot down by a Sopwith Camel piloted by Kenneth Montgomery of England. His Knight's Cross with Swords of the Order of the House of Hohenzollern was awarded posthumously. |
