Ruthard von Richthofen

[Teresa Maria]

I have just come across the following piece of information about Karl Heinz Jeismann:
Annoyed that he did not see any action, like so many of the "new Growth" pilots. He served with Ruthard von Richthofen in Dec, 1943. He wrote about his friend Richthofen in a Jager Blatt 6/1997/1998.

Does anyone happen to have that issue of Jager Blatt? What does Jeismann say about Ruthard?

I was away on vacation so it's a bit belated, but here's a scan of the aforementioned Jägerblatt article about Ruthard von Richthofen.

Hope that helps,
Leon Venter.

Dear Leon,
Thank you very, very much for the scan of the article. It is so sad that Ruthard died so young... Maybe this is the reason why so little information is available about him.
To be frank, I hoped Jeismann had written something more about Ruthard... :-) However, maybe this is all that can be written about him...?
Thank you very much once again!
Best regards,
Teresa
