In 1919 Streil became active in Freikorps Epp and later transitioned into the Reichswehr.

Left sleeve shows rare embroidered specialty patch for technical flying personnel. Shoulder straps provisioned on tunic for Unteroffizier in charge of aircraft maintenance / technical personnel. In the late 1960's a U.S. document collector, who obtained Willi Lötsch's soldbuch wrote a letter to the inhabitant registration officer- Neuwied, Germany for Willi's address, which he obtained. Willi responded to the collector's follow-up letter and they communicated about Willi's service time, etc. Some years later the militaria collector, who later acquired the soldbuch and contact information, acquired service memorabilia from Willi Lötsch's estate. Included in the memorabilia was the listed moleskin LW fliegerbluse pattern work tunic. . From Willi Lötsch's soldbuch we know he attended/graduated from the LW flying technical school in Bayrouth, Austria before being assigned to Kampfgeschwader 40 ( ( FW200 4 engine maritime /U-boat recon unit ) in France July 1942. When that unit was disbanded in 1944 Willi Lötsch volunteered for the Fallschirmjager, to keep his flight pay, training with the FSJG Replacement Rgt. 3 in Verdun, France before being assigned to the 4th Fallschirm Div. going to Italy. The relationship between Willi Lötsch and G. Behring ( nametag in the fliegerbluse) is unknown ( and unnoticed until the 2000's ) but established German ( and worldwide military unit ) procedure is issued work items would be returned to the unit quartermaster for reissue when leaving the unit. With KG40 being disbanded in France, and everyone being reassigned, Willi most likely kept this work tunic since he was staying in France for his LW FSJG training , and following the same, he took it home while on leave before reporting to FSJG Rgt. 11 eventually going to Italy. Please review Willi's soldbuch pages, his service record online and his first letter in 1969 which are historical facts. The soldbuch's owner, being a document collector, has retained the soldbuch and may make it available at a future date. Enjoy. $1500. More Photos
