Biography

Reinhard Treptow was born in Leikow on 28 November 1892. He joined the German Army's 2nd Field Artillery Regiment on 13 October 1913, before World War I began.[2]

He reported for aviation training in 1915, and was posted to Fliegerersatz-Abteilung (Replacement Detachment) 5 in Hannover, Germany. Training completed, he passed on to Flieger-Abteilung (Artillerie) Flier Detachment (Artillery) 207 on 25 October 1915. He flew artillery direction and reconnaissance missions there until March 1917. He was then transferred to a fighter squadron, Jagdstaffel 25, which was stationed in Macedonia.[2]
