Head Doctor of the 6th Luftwaffe Field Division
Dr Theodor "Ghandi" Guenther was awarded both classes of the iron cross in WW1. As a young company fuehrer he fought in some of the bloodiest battles on both the western and eastern fronts.
In 1918 he received his EK1 for a defensive action where the French attacked his trenches just as his company was relieving another, with his machine gunner they drove off the French attack causing heavy losses. Not long afterwards he was hit in the shoulder, this wound took cost hin a shoulder blade and socket, leaving him with one arm 5cms shorter than the other.

Brothers in Arms
Once upon a time, in a trench in france, a young infantry LT. sees a German plane get shot down and belly land in no mans land. as dusk sets in he takes out a patrol and looks for the wreck. The pilot is alive and so is the observer, who turns out to be the brother of the young LT.
Friedrich Guenther, after serving as an ariel observer became a member of the Freikorps Erhardt, which as you history buffs will know, quelled the Kapp Putsch (read up on it). He joined the party in 1930, by 1933 was the deputy Reichskommissar in Saxony then the Ministerialdirektor and head of the saxony state council. Arrested in the Roehm putsch then released he served as a minister without office and late in the war was ordered to serve as a judge on a peoples court. he died in 1946 in a russian Prison camp.
