Re: Lw Photo Caption Translation?

Hello Melvin,

seems to be "Raucheisen".

So it's probably Lt. Karl Raucheisen, who went missing near the Isle of Wight over sea on 17th Dezember 1942 in Bf 109 F4, code "7", Werknummer 10.246. He belonged to 4./(F) 123 (Eins.).

His Staffelführer Oblt. Karl Rüeck was MIA during the same mission.

Carl

Hello Carl,

My thoughts were also Rauchiesen but wanted to confirm before I made a fool of myself! The photo came to me from a pilot of 1./(F)123 who knew Karl Rueck at this time.

Thanks again for your help Carl and Paul.

Regards

Melvin
