I remember back when I was stationed in NYC during the 6os there was a PP, Permanent Private, who was saluted by some rather senior Officers. He worked in the Commissary and was a wild man.

I found out that he got the Blue Max in Korea for saving his unit from being over run and killing an ungodly number of people.

Unless that guy was a W.W.I fighter pilot for the German Air Force I don’t think he got The Blue Max.

Here is a history of that medal and not given out again after the Germany lost the war in 1918.
