Re: 41 Sqn vs Me262s, Rheine Aerodrome, 14 Feb. 1945

I know this is not directly related to your query, but F/Lt. L.C. Shaver and F/O A.H. Fraser of No.439 Squadron RCAF nailed a couple of 262's from 5/KG 51 around the same time and same location. Time of attack is stated as being 0815. Were the two groups of 262s attacking the same target?

My son found this web site concerning Rudolf Hofmann while looking for info on genealogy. Rudolf Hofmann was my grandfather. My father has been looking for info about him, the squadron, and associates, for many years. With that said, if you or anybody else have any info on him, that would be most appreciated. If there is any info that you might need, send me a message and I will see what I can get from my father.

Wow! Thank you.
