eBay: Airwar ww2 The Pilots.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, but does anyone have any information on a LW pilot, or other position, with the last name of "Gneuchtel" or similar. I was told that a former local physician with that name had been a Luftwaffe pilot during WW2. Please redirect this inquiry if this is not the proper place. Thank you.

I found a little more. The fellow in question was named Wolfgang Gnuechtel, and was an orthopaedic surgeon in Caldwell, Idaho. Again, I was told one time he was a former Luftwaffe member, a pilot, I think.
