NSG 2 - Rudi Schlothauer

[Joerg Dietsche]

Rudi Schlothauer was shot down by Allied fighters overhead the airfield of Bindlach in March 1945.

Any information about this Ju-87 STUKA Pilot/Nachtschlachtgruppe 2 (NSG 2) and the fighter unit involved is appreciated.

AFAIK, 3./NSG 2 transferred to Bindlach on the evening of 3 April 1945. Other Staffeln were at Kirchenlaibach.

Fl.Div. 16 reported Ju 87 operations without loss on the night of 4/5 April. On the 5th, four Ju 87 operated in the area of Dülmen and (out of 214 sorties by the Division) one aircraft was reported lost and 13 missing but there was no indication of which types or units were involved.

On the 5th, 3./NSG 2 was reported transferring to Adlholz.

Nick,
excellent information. I do this research on behalf of Walter Lutzky, FF of 3./NSG 2 who his trying to find the grave of Schlothauer. Lutzky was present at his burial, but he cannot find the location anymore.
