The closest I can come is:
An 'aunt' (my Mum's best friend
) of mine's father was with JG 2 Richthofen. He was later shot down over France sometime after the BoB by a Spitfire. He took a bullet to the head. Apparently he disliked flying the bf 109. That's all I know.
Some collector, (or was it a veteran?) of JG 2 items came around years later and bought all the paraphernalia and uniforms from my aunt's mother. A real shame I'd have loved to have seen them, or got my mitts on them
.
Incidentally a neighbour in her street is a von Richthofen and is related to the famous Baron.
