Rudolf Sinner
Hello Rabe
Many thanks for your contributions. I was aware that Sinner was shot down on 6 March 1944 but until now was only aware that he had baled out wounded as Ethell/Price mention. The JG 54 loss list by Rösipal only states that he was wounded in aerial combat over Bassum and his Bf 109 G-6 "2" (W.Nr. 410 557) suffered 100% damage so it is very interesting to read that there is a source that states that he force-landed with 30% damage. I am very glad to know that the aircraft was a "Blue 2" as this was totally new to me. Returning to Sinner, I am also aware that he was shot down a second time in June 1942, this time on 24 June when he had to force-land following aerial combat with Hurricane fighters. I believe that his fighter on this occasion may have been Bf 109 F-4/Trop "Yellow 1" (W.Nr. 8687) but this information may be wrong. Then again on 4 April 1945, when he was lucky to survive the shoot down and the following strafing. Many thanks for all your new information!
Horrido!
