He was also a recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross ((ドイツ語:Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes)). The Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross was awarded to recognise extreme battlefield bravery or successful military leadership. For his post-war service in the German Air Force, he received the Grand Cross with Star of the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany. ==Career== Obleser at one point questioned the aerial claims made by Erich Hartmann. Hartmann asked Günther Rall to have Obleser transferred to be Hartmann's wingman for a while. Obleser became a witness on some of Hartmann's claims and no longer questioned Hartmann's claims.〔(interview by Colin Heaton )〕 In August 1944, Obleser was credited with his 100th aerial victory. He was the 87th ''Luftwaffe'' pilot to achieve the century mark.〔Obermaier 1989, p. 243.〕 After World War II, Friedrich Obleser settled in West Germany and continued his career in the ''Luftwaffe der Bundeswehr'' after the re-militarization of West Germany in 1955. From 1 October 1978 until his retirement on 31 March 1983, he held the position of ''Inspekteur der Luftwaffe'' der Bundeswehr. At the end of his career, he had attained the rank of Generalleutnant and was the last active general in the Bundeswehr who had received the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross during World War II. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Friedrich Obleser」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
