The Final Flight of Poldi Wenger


This is the a story of a Luftwaffe pilot who fought in WW2 and his brother's search for answers to so many questions about his sibling's death and last days. The brother who did the research was Wily Wenger. Wily began searching for his brother in 1946 right after the end of the war but the full story did not began to develop until the late 90's when his perseverance began to pay off. From what I have read, Herr Wenger was an just a young man who was caught up in the circumstances and events that accompany a world war. Poldi did his duty and some (presentation of his Knight's Cross 01.1945 and others). The story is multi-faceted and addresses Poldi's military exploits, and his brother's search for him and the many unanswered questions regarding his brother's fate. Story
