Hans-Ekkehard Bob
Dear All,
I have just come across a photo of Hans-Ekkehard Bob in a military hospital: https://www.ebay.ch/itm/foto-luftwaf...sWj:rk:24:pf:0 Do you happen to know when he was wounded an in what circumstances? Thank you in advance. Best Regards, Teresa |

Re: Hans-Ekkehard Bob
I don't have any record of Hans-Ekkehard being awarded any grading of the Wound Badge. The only occasion I can think of that he may have received any medical attention was after bailing out on 17th April 1943, when he accidentally rammed a B-17 bomber during an aerial attack. Hope this helps,
David
