Hans-Ulrich Rudel

These are some facts and curiosities about Hans-Ulrich Rudel:

He was born in Konradswaldau on 2 July 1916.

His first "flight", at the age of 8, was a jump from a roof with an umbrella – in 1924 it was not yet a cliché – which resulted in a broken leg.

As a boy he was a poor scholar but a very passionate sportsman: he was a skier and an athlete.

In August 1936, after his Abitur (university preparatory high school diploma), he joined the Luftwaffe as a cadet officer and began basic training at the "Air Warfare School" in Wildpark-Werder.

As the son of a Lutheran minister, he didn't exactly fit in with the Stuka brotherhood. “He doesn't smoke, only drinks milk, has no stories to tell about women, and spends all his free time doing sports,” one of his instructors wrote. “Senior Cadet Officer Rudel is a strange bird!”

He spent the Polish invasion as an observer in the back seat of reconnaissance planes and skipped out on the Battle of Britain and the Balkan and Cretan campaigns. Only with the invasion of the Soviet Union was he finally assigned a combat post.

Rudel flew 2,530 combat missions claiming a total of 2,000 targets destroyed; including 800 vehicles, 519 tanks, 150 artillery pieces, 70 landing craft, nine aircraft, 4 armored trains, several bridges, a destroyer, two cruisers, and the Soviet battleship Marat.

After the war, Rudel for a time moved to South America where he became a close friend and confidante of the Argentinian president Juan Peròn, and Paraguay's dictator and Third Reich admirer Alfredo Stroessner.

Although missing one leg, he remained an active sportsman, playing tennis, skiing, and even climbing the highest peak in the Americas

During his stay he became acquainted with notorious Nazi concentration camp doctor and war criminal Josef Mengele

He became a successful businessman in post-war Germany.

Rudel died in Rosenheim in 1982, and was buried in Dornhausen on 22 December 1982. During Rudel’s burial ceremony, two BundeswehrPhantoms appeared to make a low altitude flypast over his grave

Four mourners were photographed giving Nazi salutes at the funeral, and were investigated under a law banning the display of Nazi symbols.

Allegedly, a photograph of a Panzer PzIII/IV engaged in rescue work on Berlin’s Wurttembergeralle after the allied air raid of 16th Dec 1943. The PanzerIII/IV was an experimental medium tank project and was designed to use components of both the III and the IV in an attempt to integrate the two projects.However, according to Wikipedia, it was cancelled with only the blueprints developed, and no units were thought to have ever been built.
