dbpprop:abstract
  • Major Theodor Nordmann was a German World War II Luftwaffe Stuka ace. Nordmann joined the Luftwaffe in 1937, and served as a reconnaissance pilot until March 1940, when he transferred to 1/StG 186, flying the Junkers Ju 87 'Stuka'. The unit was originally intended to serve on the aircraft carrier Graf Zeppelin, but in July 1940 was renamed III. /StG 1 and flew conventional bombing missions during the battle of France and Battle of Britain. Nordmann was awarded the Iron cross 1st and 2nd class during 1940. In 1941 Normann's unit was relocated to the Mediterranean for actions against Malta, where he claimed a 5,000 ton merchantman sunk. StG 1 took part in the invasion of Russia in June 1941 and in September 1941, after 200 operations and 20 tanks destroyed, he was awarded the Ritterkruez. During the fighting over Orel in the summer of 1942, Nordmann, as Staffelkapitän of 8. /StG 1, made his 600th operational mission, the first Stuka pilot to achieve this total. His radio operator and gunner, Feldwebel Gerhard Rothe, was one of only 15 Stuka gunners to be honored with the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross. In January 1945 Nordmann was killed when his FW 190 collided with his wing man in bad weather. Nordmann was Gruppenkommandeur of II. /SG 3 from October 1943 until his death in January 1945. He claimed some 80 Soviet tanks destroyed and flew over 1300 combat missions.
