SANKE CARD Nr 384 PLM-WINNER LEUTNANT WILHELM FRANKL
SKU: $65.00$42.00
This is one of the ever-popular postcards produced by Willi Sanke, Sanke Card Nr 384 of Leutnant Wilhelm Frankl. Frankl (1893-1917) was Jasta 4’s commander and a Pour le Mérite winner with a total of twenty confirmed victories at the time of his April 1917 death. He was awarded the PLM in 1916 after he had achieved eight victories. When the Luftwaffe was formed under Hermann Göring in the 1930’s, Frankl was largely forgotten due to his Jewish heritage.
