Fritz Lüddecke (23 February 1920 - 10 August 1944) was a Luftwaffe (German air force) fighter ace during the Second World war. He scored 51 victories in over 600 missions, including 150 fighter-bomber missions, all over the Eastern Front. On 10 August 1944 Lüddecke was shot down near Wilkowischken, and killed when his aircraft exploded as he was attempting an emergency landing. Oberfeldwebel Lüddecke was posthumously awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross. The Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross was awarded to recognise extreme battlefield bravery or successful military leadership. ==Awards== * Ehrenpokal der Luftwaffe(13 December 1943) * German Cross in Gold on 1 October 1944 as ''Feldwebel'' in Stabsstaffel/Jagdgeschwader 51〔Patzwall & Scherzer 2001, p. 287.〕 * Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross on 18 November 1944 as ''Oberfeldwebel'' and pilot in the Stabsstaffel/Jagdgeschwader 51 "Mölders"〔Fellgiebel 2000, p. 297.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fritz Lüddecke」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
