Postwar life/career?

Dude wasn't KIA. Lede admits he lived another 45 years. What was he doing? Laodah 02:04, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

Notability

Does not meet WP:SOLDIER & sig RS coverage not found link, just passing mentions and / or non RS militaria literature. The article copy is WP:OR based on a primary source:

Foreman, John; Parry, Simon; Matthews, Johannes (2004). Luftwaffe Night Fighter Claims 1939–1945. Walton on Thames: Red Kite. ISBN 978-0-9538061-4-0.

No de.wiki article exists. Did not hold a significant command and topped out as Oberstleutnant. Successful completion of missions (sorties flown, # of enemy aircraft shot down, etc) is not part of SOLDIER. A MilHist RfC on this topic has failed to gain consensus in May of 2017:

MilHist:RfC on the notability of flying aces.
