Re: Rudolf Sinner
Hello Leo,
When I was looking at Me262 losses some years ago I made some notes about Sinner ( born 1915 )from I think the Horrido book. This states he was drafted into the Austrian Army as an Artilleryman, served in a Flak unit in Poland and commenced pilot training in 1940. In all he was shot down 12 times baling out on three occasions and was wounded 5 times. He crash-landed on several ocassions 3 of them behind enemy lines and once landed behind Russian line to pick up a downed comrade. If all this is correct he was a very lucky pilot, who also claimed he was fired at on his chute and on the ground when he baled out of his 262,
Regards
