Shot down by Oblt. Alfons Klein during Spanish Civil War.
Von Houwald, Hafner and Klein, piloting their Heinkel He 51, encountered a group of three enemy aircraft. The fighting was hard as the republican pilots werer enough expirienced. The three german pilots claimed a victory each one, nevertheless, this is not confirmed and it seems all the government aircraft reached their base. A Breguet XIX accounted 27 impacts.
Also, one of the two claimed Breguet XIX could be, in fact, a Nieuport NiD 52.
