Fw Rhode 1./JG 2
 
This pilot was on 1./JG 2 in 1942 but I have no victories or information. His name is also spelt Rohde-is he the same as the Fhr Rudolf Rhode killed 15 Jan 45?

Re: Fw Rhode 1./JG 2
 
Impossible, because Fhr Rudolf Rohde (killed 15 Jan 1945) was born in May 1925.

Re: Fw Rhode 1./JG 2
 
Thanks Matti. My Rhode had the Frontflugspange by 1942 so as you say impossible

Chris,
the "Rhode" you mentioned in 1./JG2 is actually Hermann Rohne. It was just misspelled in some photos.

Re: Fw Rhode 1./JG 2
 
Fred: Thanks for this. I can blame the late Willi Morzinek for that! He also names a Fw Fröschl (not the 10/JG 2 one) but cannot find him as well

Re: Fw Rhode 1./JG 2
 
I can find only one Fw Fröschl:

1942-07-02, 3./Stuka-Schule 2, Ju 87 B-1, 277, 6G+HP, Bombenabwurfplatz Haslach
Flugzeugführer Fw Fröschl, Hermann, +
Absturz infolge Bedienungsfehler. Bruch 100 %.

Re: Fw Rhode 1./JG 2
 
Thanks Matti. He was a trained fighter pilot on 1./JG 2 by this time so unlikely to be him. Another error was a Uffz Brändle which was in fact Uffz Martin Brendel

Re: Fw Rhode 1./JG 2
 
Chris. I understand that you are working on the identification on the photos of Morzinek. I already worked on the issue a few months ago. don't hesitate to send me an email. fred

Re: Fw Rhode 1./JG 2
 
Fred: It is OK apart from Fröschl. Of course, Rohne was then killed with 10./JG 2

Re: Fw Rhode 1./JG 2
 
Martin Brendel is not on the photo...

Chris Goss 20th February 2020 12:05

Re: Fw Rhode 1./JG 2
 
The photo I am talking about shows Rohne, Dowahn, Frösch (?), Morzinek, Brandel, ?, Eicher at Triqueville. Same man is in the photos showing 10 pilots at Triqueville with Hepe nearest and Wurmheller furthest? This is what Morzinek told me many years ago

Fredo Hara 20th February 2020 12:56

Re: Fw Rhode 1./JG 2
 
the first photo you're talking about doesn't tell me anything. on the other hand I know the photo with the 10 pilots with Wurmheller and Hepe. the 10 pilots are all identified.
