Re: Luftwaffe generals sons
As far as sons of Wolfram Richtofen are concerned, I do not know if he had had any, let alone in the Luftwaffe but possibly one or more of these could be sons of his:
RICHTHOFEN, Heinz, Freiherr von. (DOB: 10.05.98). 01.09.42 promo to Obstlt.(Wm.).
RICHTHOFEN, Johannes, Freiherr von. 26.07.41 Hptm. and Staka 6./ZG 26, KIA – in Bf 110 E-2 shot down in the Lake Ilmen area.
RICHTHOFEN, Wolfgang, Freiherr von. (DOB: 29.11.10). 1937 Hptm., appt Staka 8./KG 157 (to 00.38). 01.04.39 Hptm., appt Staka 6./KG 27 (to 13.09.39 KIA).
As for sons of other “higher ups” in the Luftwaffe, it appears that Göring had a couple of nephews in it. One was:
GÖRING, Hans-Joachim. 11.07.40 Oblt., 9./ZG 76 KIA shot down by Hurricanes crashed and exploded on impact with cliffs at Verne near Portland with such force that no remains were ever found. – was Herman Göring’s nephew. 01.06.41 promo to Hptm.
As for sons of other generals, I am not going to go through looking at all 730 Generals to find out. On the other hand, if someone has specific requests I shall look into it.
DGS.
