As a footnote...
About Dieppe I met this Spitfire pilot who was also at Dieppe. http://www.thememoryproject.com/stor...rick-connolly/ I did this video as an homage to him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72_YHQP-4sE I met him by pure chance, then I visited him at the veterans' hospital with his wife. Very humble man. |

Hi Alain,
E. Dörre became Fw. on 1/2/43. 2/11/41: EK II 3/4/42: Fr. Fl. Sp. i. Bronze 16/10/42: Fr. Fl. Sp. i. Silber 6/1/43: EK I 30/7/43: Verw. Abz. in Schwarz 25/8/43: Vorshlagliste zur Verleihung des Ehrenpokals. At the time I was writing the special LuGa on JG 26, I tried to contact his family, but in vain. Hope that this helps. regards Erik |

Re: Uffz Edgar Dörre JG 26
I wonder who put the picture of Erbo von Kageneck on this website: https://bcatp.wordpress.com/2014/07/01/edgar-dorre/, pretending that it was a photo of Edgar Dörre...
It's evidently Erbo von Kageneck: http://deutsches-afrikakorps.blogspo...-kageneck.html |

Re: Uffz Edgar Dörre JG 26
Dear Pierre,
Thank you for the correction and I'm very sorry for the form of my previous message. I realise I was too harsh on you, but I somehow didn't think that you might have referred to your own website. I thought it was a external website, managed by someone who had nothing to do with this forum. I expressed my surprise, but it certainly wasn't polite enough. I'm really sorry. Please, accept my apologies. |
