Quoted By:
I don't have enough Rudel pictures to tell all his incredible stories, here is one about fishing:
>At the moment we are having a muddy spell and consequent difficulties in getting up supplies, even our rations. When flying low over the Dnieper I have often seen both our own and the Russian ground troops tossing hand-grenades into the water and by this means catching fish. We are at war, the Dnieper is a battle zone, and every possibility of feeding the troops must be exploited. So one day I decide to try my luck with a little hundred pound bomb.
>After waiting until I have identified our chaps I drop my missile from between sixty and ninety feet. It falls into the river very near to the bank and explodes after a short delay.
>From above I can see the white bellies of the dead fish floating on the surface.
>Among the catch are some monster specimens weighing 60 to 80 pounds; mostly sturgeon and a kind of river carp.
>A couple of weeks later a fresh fishing operation is carried out with equal success.
