Re: Ofhr. Ruthart von Richthofen
We have nothing about this fellow in our files due to his low rank, but the Kraker Archive has:
Richthofen, Ruthard von - Ofhr. - JG-105 (12/43 Chartres Fr.), 10./JG-2Bf 109GFighter Operational ClaspKIA 13 July, 1944 in aerial combat at the invasion front. He was a distant relative to the "Red Baron" himself. He was one of at least three young members of the von Richthofen family to be KIA in WWII. Johannes KIA in 1941, the other was an Fw 190 Ground Attack pilot, FhjFw Wolfram von Richthofen, on the Eastern Front, who was posted MIA just a month before. Ruthard may have achieved the rank of Lt..
That's all we can find about this chap.
