Hi,

Could anyone provide details on the loss of Feldwebel Rudi Beck who was a fighter pilot who was killed in an air battle over Russia on the 27th November 1942?

He was an experienced flier with the EK II, Silver Flight badge, East Medal, Wound Badge and the Golden HJ Badge.

Many thanks

Hi,

Did I read somewhere that he was an ace with ten kills to his name?
