Re: USAAF Claims for Me 163s
Hello all,
Just a correction on the oft-misquoted rank of Rolf Glogner. From Ransom & Cammann, Me 163 Rocket Interceptor Volume Two, (2003) p.274:
"Uffz. Rolf Glogner: (23) 'I shot down a Mosquito on 16 March 1945. In this case, Goring should have awarded me a medal and given me a promotion and special leave. Instead, I received confirmation of my victories in Russia. Because, up to that time, I had only received the gold Frontflug-Spange fur Jaeger, I was retrospectively awarded an EK II. Shortly afterwards I was promoted to Feldwebel.'"
best regards,
Jim Geens
P.S. I'm sorry. This post was meant for Chris' thread on the Mosquito Loss 10 April 1945.
