[sci.military] KIA GENERAL GRADE OFFICERS

riga@uncecs.edu (Helmuts A. Fiefs) (10/05/90)

From: Helmuts A. Fiefs <riga@uncecs.edu>
One of the respondents mentioned a 2 star that was killed in RVN. This was 
Bruno Hochmuth, CG Third Mardiv. The story that he flew into a artillery 
arc was a late one. The initial story is that he was greased by a Vietnamese
Major who carried the bomb onto the Helo. The other story was that it was 
one of his own men. Bruno was not a popular guy nor a particularly effective
general. I think the Marine Corps ooozed through the investigation....
