Re: Hurricane shot down by Obgfr. Rüttger at Lengerich near Belgium Frontier 39/40
Robert,
Thanks for your very helpful comments. This at least establishes the location of the incident; now we have to figure out who "Obgfr Rüttger" is. Someone contacted me that the only fighter pilot with that last name was with 3./JG 52, and his first victories were not over Belgium or the western part of Germany. So this is still all a mystery. The original information comes from a photo album from the 39-40 time period, so this is probably from the "Phoney War" period, but perhaps some other pilot got the victory.
Any further help from anyone would be appreciated.
