Re: Where is Friedrich Rupp buried?
He died on 15 May, 1943; his remains were miraculously recovered a month later from the sea; was buried 16 September, 1943.
Nothing about this fact-pattern suggests a simple explanation or burial location. He was a good-looking kid. A lot of them were. Bronc |

Re: Where is Friedrich Rupp buried?
Dear Broncazonk,
Thank you for your answer, but these are things I have known for quite a long time. Yes, he was very good-looking... the most handsome pilot of the Luftwaffe, in my opinion. I hope I will find and visit his grave one day... |

Re: Where is Friedrich Rupp buried?
Dear Lilsis,
Thank you very much for your answer. Does the abbreviation VDK stand for Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge? It's such a great pity that poor Friedrich's body hasn't been recovered... I've even seen photos from his funeral (I'm attaching one to this post), but was it just a symbolic memorial service? Maybe there is a symbolic empty grave too...? |
