| | Tutschek's military career began in 1910. During the war, he distinguished himself in combat while serving with the infantry in France and on the Eastern Front. Severely wounded by gas at Verdun, Tutschek was ill for months. When he recovered, he transferred to the German Air Service.
Mid-morning on 15 March 1918, Jasta 12 triplanes tangled with the Royal Flying Corps near Brancourt. Tutscheck, commander of Jagdgeschwader II, was killed when his green Fokker DR.I was shot down by an S.E.5a piloted by Herbert Redler, a South African. |
