Reinhard Georg Aigen (20 May 1913 – 19 September 1943) was a German Luftwaffe flight engineer and recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross during World War II. The Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross was awarded to recognise extreme battlefield bravery or successful military leadership. Reinhard Aigen was killed on 19 September 1943 at Orsha. He was posthumously awarded the Knight's Cross on the Iron Cross on 9 June 1944. In total, Aigen is credited with flying 447 combat missions, 313 of which on the Eastern Front and 68 lasted longer than 4 hours and were counted double. This ruling resulted in a theoretical total of 515 combat flights.〔Kaiser 2010, p. 81.〕 ==Awards== * Air Gunner Badge (''Fliegerschützenabzeichen für Bordschützen und Bordmechaniker'') (18 November 1937) * Sudetenland Medal (28 September 1939) * Iron Cross (1939) * * 2nd Class (24 October 1939) * * 1st Class (12 September 1940) * Front Flying Clasp of the Luftwaffe in Gold (25 March 1941) * Ehrenpokal der Luftwaffe (20 June 1941) * Wound Badge * * in Black (11 September 1943) * Eastern Front Medal (3 August 1942) * German Cross in Gold on 6 March 1942 as ''Oberfeldwebel'' in the I./Kampfgeschwader 4〔Patzwall & Scherzer 2001, p. 12.〕 * Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross on 9 June 1944 as ''Oberfeldwebel'' and Bordmechaniker in the 7./Kampfgeschwader 4〔Fellgiebel 2000, p. 114.〕〔Scherzer 2007, p. 189.〕 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「Reinhard Aigen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
