Pilot: Gefreiter (private) Wilhelm Scheutzel

Brief details of the pilot.
Scheutzel joined Jasta 65 from Jasta-Schule II on 12 July 1918 and lasted until the end of the war. He scored his one and only kill when he downed a DH4 on 13 August 1918.
This particular aircraft features artwork from the Brothers Grimm fairy tale the “Seven Swabians” on each side of the fuselage and a black crest with 3 yellow (golden or white depending on whose story is being told) deer antlers on the spine. The three antlers were the coat of arms of the Wuerttemberg Royal House, the kingdom also used the three lions of the Staufian Duchy of Swabia.
