Tuhia he haere tonu mo tenei irava - I whanau a Eberspächer i te 18 o Noema 1915 i Tübingen, i taua wa ko tetahi waahanga o te Basileia o Württemberg, he kawanatanga o te Emepaea Tiamana. I te tau 1934 i tono ia mo te mahi hoia i roto i te Reichswehr, a i mahi ia i roto i te roopu mataaratanga patu. I te taha o tana mahi hoia i ako ia i te hangarau miihini i te Whare Waananga o Stuttgart. Whai muri i tana tohu i te 1939, ka whakawhiti ia ki te Luftwaffe. Mai i te Hōngongoi 1940 ki te Hanuere 1943 i mahi ia me te 7. (("Fernaufklärungs"-) "Staffel" o "Lehrgeschwader" 2 (7th Long Range Reconnaissance Squadron of the 2nd Demonstration Wing) i runga i nga taha o te Hauauru
me ngā Runga ki te Rāwhiti. Katahi ka hurihia ki te mahi whakaeke whenua, ana mai i te Poutu-te-rangi 1943 i mahi ia me te "Schnellkampfgeschwader" 10 (SKG 10<unk>10th Rapid Bomber Wing), e rere ana i nga misioni toa-pomo i te tonga o Ingarangi me nga mahi anti- kaipuke i te Channel Ingarihi. I whakatairangahia ia ki te taumata o te "Hauptmann" (kapene) i te 1 o Mei 1944 ka tohua hei "Staffelkapitän" (kaiarahi o te roopu) i te I./SKG 10 a Kurt Dahlmann (1st Group).
