Wounded at Verdun on 28 April 1916, Rosenstein was posted to Jasta 27 on 15 February 1917 where he often flew as Hermann Göring's wingman. Recommended for the Order of the House of Hohenzollern in 1918, Rosenstein failed to receive it before the war ended. Rosenstein emigrated to South Africa in the 1930s. Rosenstein's son, an RAF fighter pilot during World War II, was killed in action over Italy in 1945. |
