I have just come across the following passage:
https://books.google.pl/books?id=kbn...q=Rupp&f=false
Or this:
This early production, Focke Wulf built, Fw 190D9 W.Nr 210056 of 10./JG54 was flown by Uffz. Werner Rupp on his second operational sortie on 29 December 1944. He was shot down by 2 Typhoons of 168 RAF/439 RCAF sqn.

Was Unteroffizier Werner Rupp, by any chance, a brother, or maybe another relative (for example, a cousin) of Friedrich Rupp, or is it just a coincidence?
