WALTER SCHWABEDISSEN (16 June 1896 - 19 February 1989) saw service in both World Wars as an air force officer. He was a member of that elite group of German Army General Staff officers which was transferred to the German Air Force in 1933, at the time the Air Force became an independent arm of the Armed Forces.
Among his assignments prior to World War II were two years with the Training Branch of the Air Ministry, a year at the War Academy (Kriegsakademie) followed by two one-year assignments during which he successively commanded two different Luftwaffe Area Commands.
At the beginning of World War II he commanded an antiaircraft artillery corps, after which he became Commander-in-Chief of all German Armed Forces in the Netherlands. Late in 1944 he became Chief of the Activation Staff of the Hungarian Air Force, an assignment which gave him firsthand experience with the Russian Air Force during the closing phase of the war, when its strength had reached impressive proportions. He served in this capacity until the capitulation.
He died in 1989 at the age of 92.voir moins
