Kurt Wolff
Would it be correct to say that
 Kurt Wolff KIA 1917-plane "Exploded"?I thought I saw a photograph of his wrecked airplane on the Internet in which it was damaged-not exploded. Also was he buried in German Mass Grave at Langmark with other german casualities of WW I?

Have a look on Thorstens Pietschs page
http://www.frontflieger.de/3-w-f.html Maybe you should contact him because it states his Memoriam is in Klaipėda, Lithuania (formerly Memel) but i dont think this is the real grave. regards K.

graveyard
Geehrter Thorsten "Frontflieger"!
Can you find out the graveyard? I have identified Deutsches Kriegs graveyard at the Stadtpark, Smeltes graveyard, Joniskes graveyard and Judische graveyard, all older graveyards seem to be build. I would be glad to find ou today if his grave still exists or if there is information about him in Memel. Also for Von Boddien, do you have more information on him, his last year, how he died? I could try to find his grave at some local graveyards too. Will be glad to report you any details I might find or send you photo or text.. Unfortunately some german WW1 graveyards are in deplorable conditions nowadays nevertheless.... besten grussen Jeroen |

I couldn't open the 102/17 photo so here's one more link.
Kurt's crash photo is on the bottom. Fokker Dr.I 102/17 Lloyd...

What is distinctly strange is that
Kurt Wolff had just visited Pionierkompanie 89 at Pionierpark Nachtigal only a day or two earlier. He then crashed in the same location.Wolff was struck fatally at altitude and the aircraft struck the ground out of control. MacGregor did not even claim a destroyed, just an OOC, because he had fired only a few rounds at very close range and then swerved to avoid collision. He saw the Triplane descending in a very steep dive, seemingly out of control, which it undoubtedly was. No mention of fire, parts coming off or anything else. The burned reference comes from Bodenschatz' JG I diary, which he undoubtedly confused with another aircraft. Taz Terry Phillips |
