Rolf Kaldrack in Legion Condor.
Hallo gents!
I am trying to track down Kaldrack's service with Legion Condor. He was a trager instructor, the - fighter instructor, then - fought in Spain, before returned to Germany and posted to II./ZG1. Some sources say, that he had 3 claims with LC. But there is not his name in the W.Ring's list of claims of german piulots in Spain. Some sources say, that he flew as Aufklarer, (as Heinz Nacke, another Bf110 ace), and got his Spanish Cross in Gold for his Recce actions, but not fighter! Any help will be much appreciated.

Re: Rolf Kaldrack in Legion Condor.
Yevgeny,
Rather vague information found in Obermaier's Die Ritterkreuzträger der Luftwaffe: Nov. 1936 - posted to Spain with Aufklärerkette of K/88 Feb. 1937 - transferred to A/88 with which unit he his supposed to have claimed three Abschüße about which there are no details. These claims are also noted in Ries & Ring's The Legion Condor (pg. 274.) His first posting on return to Germany was as Ordinanzoffizier to the Staatssekretär der Luftfahrt sometime in 1938. This was followed by a posting in 1939 to Jagdfliegerschule Werneuchen as an instructor (this according to Mombeek et. al. in Luftwaffe Colours: Jagdwaffe, Vol. 1, Sec.3, pg.210.) He was then posted to 6./ZG 1. Regards, Tom |
