Jaap,

Rudof Hallensleben was the best friend of my father, Rudolf Kube from Stabsgeschwader/I. KG 76 "Florian Geyer", during their war-times together at the Krim.

I can certify their friendship with several, never seen before photos from those times.

Rudolf Hallensleben sadly lost his life very short before war's end. I know all the circumcances about his death - but his history may be not so very interesting for some clients of this board...

Cheers, Horst
