Ltn. Heinz Kökker with 1./NJG 2 in Greece

[byron-]

I found a czech magazine (REVI) with an interesting article about the Eichenlaubträger Ltn. Heinz Kökker.

Since i don`t understand this language, i would kindly request any of our Chech friends to help out with the translation of the text areas i have marked.
I am particularly interested in the plane datas and the names of the crew members.

many thanks bevorehand

Should the name not be Ltn Heinz Rokker? There must be an Umlaut on the o of Rokker, but I don't know how to do that, being a digibeet!

Paul,

the name is Ltn. Heinz Kökker, you can find it in the Web (Google)

Dear byron,

the name is indeed Heinz Rökker, a well-known night-fighter ace with 64 victory claims and RK-EL holder. I will try to send you the translation of "your" excerpts from the REVI article over the weekend via pm.

Paul, Ota,

mea Culpa

it is indeed Rökker, these gothic letters are confusing me. But also in Google one can find him (obviously by mistaken) as Kökker.

Attached the first page of that article and best thanks for the coming translation Ota. I can send you per mail the whole article if you wish it.

regards b.

While holding down the "Alt" key with left hand, type "0246" on the numeric keypad with right hand: ö ö ö ö.

Just for completeness, here are the Alt codes for the other special German characters:

ä = Alt 132
Ä = Alt 142

ö = Alt 148
Ö = Alt 153

ü = Alt 129
Ü = Alt 154

ß = Alt 225

To generate one of these characters, hold down the Alt key and enter the code.
