Walter von Schoen at Gallipoli?

[stevenbecker]

Mates,

 

Do you know who this man is?

 

Wolf page 81 mentions his comments on the Transport and Munitions, but he is not shown in the personal lists in his annex?

 

I net gives only he wrote a number of books?  "Die Holle von Gallipoli : der Heldenkampf an den Dardanellen"

 

So was he a jounalist?

 

Any ideas

This page and the next,  says von Schoen "is indebted to Prigge's first book for both content and wording"

https://books.google.com.au/books?id=lrPNDwAAQBAJ&pg=PT126 (scroll to bottom of page)

Pages from the Introduction in The Struggle for the Dardanelles: The Memoirs of a German Staff Officer in Ottoman Service by  Major Erich Prigge, translated by Philip Rance 2017.  

Prigge was an adjutant to Marshal Liman von Sanders, the German commander-in-chief of the Ottoman forces in the Dardanelles.

 

So it certainly sounds as if von Schoen was not present at Gallipoli.
