Hurricane shot down by Obgfr. Rüttger at Lengerich near Belgium Frontier 39/40
I'm trying to identify the date, location and circumstances of the shoot-down of a British Hurricane reported to have come down at Lengerich near the frontier with Belgium probably during the winter of 39/40. The German pilot was reported to be an "Obgefr. Rüttger." This relates to photos in a just-completed auction on eBay (#6242060777). I don't find any "Lengerich" or "Obgefr. Rüttger" listed in the index of "Fledgling Eagies" by Chris Shore et.al. Anyone have anything on this incident? I'm assuming the winter of 1939-40 due to the trees without leaves in the background.
Thanx,
