I am interested in Pilots disteny.I live near the Village where 1 Lt.Rautenbusch crashed.This Website gave me first informations,but I think there is a lot more to find out. On what misson was he? Was it an escort? Who downed him?( maybe Walter Oesau, JG 1) How many Victorys he did? ...and so on.
Everything is importen.
At least I have to say sorry for my bad english,but it is more than 20 years ago that I learned it.
Hello:
I also need information about the location of lt. Rautenbusch's memorial stele near the site of the crash. I also understand a similar stele has been erected for the German piot who also crashed at that site. Would appreciate any information you can send.

Information about Lt Rautenbush seems to be sparse. But this link provides some info about the crash location and his final grave, plus some speculation.
