Re: General Wolfram Freiherr von Richtofen

Brian:

Refer my post of 26 February 2006 on the friendly fire thread:

On 25 June 1942, Generaloberst Wolfram von Richthofen was on an inspection flight of German positions in Russia when his Storch was fired on by the German 387th Infantry Division, Richthofen's copilot was wounded and the aircraft made an emergency landing (reported in Joel Hayward's Stopped at Stalingrad, which cites Richthofen's diary as the primary source).

Unfortunately no indication of aircraft markings.

Cheers

Don W
