About Bruno Loerzer

  • Colonel General Bruno Loerzer (22 January 1891 – 23 August 1960) was a German air force officer during World War I and World War II.
  • Credited with 44 aerial victories during World War I, he was one of Germany's leading flying aces, as well as commander of one of the first Imperial German Air Service Jagdeschwaders. Loerzer's close friendship with Hermann Goering led to Loerzer's service in the World War II Luftwaffe, with subsequent promotion to Generaloberst by war's end.
  • Goering described Loerzer as "his laziest general," but swept aside criticisms of Loerzer, commenting "I need someone I can drink a bottle of red wine with in the evening."
