Requesting information on a Ltn. Werner Waldecker
I've watched the docudrama '14 - Diaries of the Great War' and is based on real diaries from the war.In it is a German girl named Elfriede Kurh (later Jo Mihaly).She encounters an airman by the name of Ltn. Werner Waldecker who then becomes her love interest.Later on she learns and horrified to learn that he had been shot down and killed in action.I am curious to know if there is any information of this airman?According to grave cross in episode he was KIA on October 13, 1915.
Thank you

COTGAS has a Ltn Werner Waldecker born 7 November 1892 in Bielefeld. Died 1 December 1917. No other info. Nothing in TJP or JWC.
Tony Addendum: There are a couple of entries on Google but in German which I won't even try to trandlate.

"Elfriede Kuhr"...
.
Maybe you'll find some more information in connection with the young lady ELFRIEDE KUHR or JO MIHHALY: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jo_Mihaly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/14_-_D..._the_Great_War Hope this helps a bit...  .

Was hoping there be more but I reckon we can't get plenty information on all of them.He's memorialized in her diary and with what information MASTIFF provided.Wonder if there is a grave to be found?Further search has provided a photo and a excerpt from her diary on him.
"All of a sudden, I imagined that he would crash his plane and be dead. It crashes every week. Then you will be driven by military music to either the war cemetery or the freight station, where your coffins are sent to the relatives. I can't hear the funeral marches. (…) He brought me to our doorstep. In the hallway, he suddenly wanted to kiss me, but I immediately noticed that all the lieutenants were kissing the girls who brought them home. So I said quickly, "Goodbye!" and ran up the stairs. (…) Of course I would have liked to be kissed by Lieutenant Werner Waldeck. Very much. I was a goose. God, I was a goose!"  (Caption: Flugleutnant Werner Waldecker, Elfriede Kuhrs first great love)
