Rolf Kaldrack vs claims in Spain
 
Hello

Many sources including the most recent credit it with 3 "abschusse" in Spain,but wich are absent in the list of the Condor legion.
There are documents that corroborate (as Micro or others) this legend?

Back in 1980 Karl Ries and Hans Ring did a book about the Legion Condor.

In it they list Kaldrack with 3 claims (in a general claims list)

However they also indicate that Kaldrack was possibly with the recce unit (A/88) when making his claims.

Thus Kaldrack is not listed among the fighter pilots claims since no dates and/or circumstances seems to be known.

Cheers

I know all this (I have the book),that's why I don't believe in this "fable" spread year after year without supporting evidence.

In the list established by G.Fleischmann (KIA 30/04/40),none is mentioned(same remark for others such as v.Bonin,Balthasar,Handrick,Schob.....)

Some past "truths" have not always stood up to more recent ones...unless?

If you state from the beginning all you know, others don't have waste time looking into items you already have!
