Re: Fritz Sengschmitt
His Personalakte Pers 6/178670 is not digitalized (yet). It only consists of 27 pages and no details about his victories, except for one summary in a Beurteilung.

Re: Fritz Sengschmitt
Hello John,
I stumbled over the given name "Rudi"...wasn't his name "Rudolf" ? Cheers, Michael |

Re: Fritz Sengschmitt
A very strange question for somebody who claims to be German, Michael.

Re: Fritz Sengschmitt
Just answer the question Nick. Your comment has little to do with the question.

Re: Fritz Sengschmitt
Just as I (and Nick H?) have Nicholas on my birth certificate and am known as Nick, so Rudi is the informal variant of Rudolf.

Before I consider to answer the question, I want doubts cleared up first. I don't feel that expressing a doubt that somebody is who they say they are is particularly unreasonable especially if taking the next step of helping them involves giving away for free something that might have cost me time, effort and money to find out. Nick B, Quote: "Just as I (and Nick H?) have Nicholas on my birth certificate and am known as Nick." Can confirm. |

Re: Fritz Sengschmitt
All official documents I have seen list him as Rudi Dassow. I have never seen any reference to Rudolf..... I believe his name was straight forward RUDI....

Dassow is not included in many of my books: Toliver/Constable (1968) call him Rudolf. Weal (1999) calls him Rudi. Forsyth calls him Rudolf in 2011 and Rudi in 2019. Also check out my Me 410 aces thread: http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/showth...ghlight=dassow I wish you a good start into the weekend, Michael |

Re: Fritz Sengschmitt
Hi All,
just checked the birth name Rudi. In Germany parents named 1.300 babies Rudi between 2010 and 2022. The name is indeed very rare but definitly possible. Rolf |

Re: Fritz Sengschmitt
I do not care what these books say, especially the first ones. I never saw any reference to Rudolf in OFFICIAL documents. Only his birth certificate might give the final answer. But IF his name was Rudolf then I am sure it would have come up in some of the documents I have (NVM's or PA).
