Hptm. Johannes Fhr. von Richthofen
On 26th July 1941 Hptm. Johannes Fhr. von Richthofen of II./ZG26 was shot down by Russian ground fire with his (Bf) Uffz. Hermann Strehl and both were killed in their Me 110 E-2 aircraft. One reference (Balss) state the crash place to be "Western entrace of Boruline", Ilmensee (lake Peipus). Estonia or Russia? Another reference (Kracker) state "a wood near Velikije Luki", Pskovskaja, Russia. What is correct?
YES, he is a relative of famous "Red Baron" of World War I.
Thanks for any help
