Remembering Peter M. Grosz, A German Giant, 1926-2006

History of the 185th Aero Squadron Stephen Lawson
"The story of the 185th Aero Squadron was similar in many ways to many other units. Although its victory score was small, its real story is in the courage of its men as the first night fighter/interceptor unit in the history of the United States."

No staffers if you please. Here we go.


Early war ace Ltn. Max von Mulzer (orden Pour leMerite holder -Blue Max) was given a nickname in the popular press of the day. He was given another nickname by some ladies that became popular among his "admirers."

Give me both nicknames. First correct poster wins a copy of the "Over the Front" journal I mentioned at the beginning of this thread.

Here are some more hints.
As a cadet, Mulzer joined the cavalry in the summer of 1914 and received a commission at the end of the year. In August 1915, he transferred to the German Air Force, serving with FFA 4b and FFA 62 before becoming a fighting pilot. He scored his first confirmed victory on 30 March 1916, shooting down a Vickers F.B.5 north of Wancourt. In July, while briefly serving with KEK B, Mulzer scored his eighth victory and became the first pilot of his native state to receive the Blue Max. After receiving the Knight's Cross of the Military Order of Max-Joseph, he rejoined FA 32b at Douai where he scored his final victory on 3 August 1916. The following month, Mulzer was killed in a crash while stunting a early Albatros D.I

Country: Germany
Rank: Leutnant , Units: FA 32b, FA 62, FFA 4b, KEK B, KEK Nord

I'll have a guess and it's only a guess, The "Green Knight" and "Monsieur Grun" (Mr Green) ?

Cheers

Somebody's been reading Cross & Cockade. But you are only half right. Won't tell which half.

Need a hint? The popular press needed a way to differientate between Max Immelmann and Max Mulzer.

Give me both nicknames
.
The ladies called him "Der Monsieur Grün" but I think the original should be "Le monsieur Vert" on account of his handsome good looks and dark green cavalry tunic.

Osprey Early German Aces, page 52

His star on the rise, Mulzer was locally known as "Bavarian Max" to differentiate him from Immelman, who was called "Saxon Max"

Guys

No idea here (not really my cup of tea) but I do not think he had an English nickname among his comrades! (maybe French as it was en vogue then ) ... so that would be "Bayern Max" und "Sachsen Max" or maybe "bayrischer" respectively "sächsischer" Max

The long article in Propellerblatt gives only one "nick name" which is "Maxl".

have fun spelling German designations .

cheers

Steffen

WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!!
