Hi Frans,
Could I ask your source for this date?
I have never been able to establish exactly when he was shot but I note that there was an Ultra message dated 24 March from the Kommandeur of NSG 2 but on 5 April it is the Deputy Kommandeur who made a report.
Also, it was the Kommandeur who reported on the strafing attack at Lippe on 14 March. The order was given that day to move to Kirtorf. NSG 2 reported on a survey of Bracht, Kirchgoens and Ziegenhain on 22 March because of problems with Kirtorf. (Rohn is said to have been shot while surveying an airfield but then the NSG 2 Kommandeur makes another report on the 24th). NSG 2 moved Eschwege on 28 March and Rohn is buried at Bad Hersfeld which is midway along the road from Kirtorf to there.
