A question regarding Rolf Hermichen
Guys:
I'm in the process of reading Caldwell & Mueller's book, 'The Luftwaffe over Germany' & I'm enjoying it very much right now...but I came across a factoid that puzzled me: Rolf Hermichen was a very experienced Gruppe Kommandeur & after the 8th AAF raid of May 12, 1944 he was relieved of his combat command & assigned to 'fly a desk' for the duration of the war; does anyone know why such an experienced officer was permanently taken off of combat duty? He had been shot down on May 12 but apparently suffered no injuries; Any clues guys? TIA NickM
