Gunther Rall

What an amazing career this man had. RIP

Lieutenant-General a.D. Günther Rall died on the 4. October in the age of 91 at his home in Germany.
He is not only the third most successful fighter ace in history but also one of the founding fathers of the modern German Luftwaffe.
- Shot down 275 enemy aircraft and was shot down himself 6 times.
- flew 800 sorties and engaged in 600 air-battles
- severely wounded 3 times
- 34. German Soldier to recieve the Knights Cross with swords
- build up the Luftwaffe again after the War and became the highest ranking Luftwaffe Soldier

Considering that he didn't stand up trial at Nuremberg, he surely was a soldier who fought with the code of HONOUR!!!

May God Almighty judge him accordingly and put his soul to rest in eternal peace!!

May he rest in peace. As a tribute to this ace, skyhigh, you should research and build one of the aircraft he flew, particularly a 109, especially since you are an expert in this field.

he was a great gentelman respected by friend and foe alike, he has appeared in many documentaries. I am lucky to have a couple of photos of my 109G14 signed by him.
