Udet was the highest scoring German ace to survive World War I. As a Luftwaffe Quartermaster-General in World War II, Udet got into trouble with the Gestapo and committed suicide. The Nazi authorities claimed he died in an accident while testing a new air weapon. He was buried at Invalidenfriedhof. |
