A radio operator / gunner who flew with ground attack pilot
Hans-Ulrich Rudel. Does not meet
WP:SOLDIER & sig RS coverage not found; the best is one short para from
Hitler's Stuka Squadrons, but it's not sufficient for a stand-alone article. Notability is not inherited from Rudel.
Per the outcome of the discussion at Notability:People:
Redirect proposal for Knight's Cross winner articles, certain recipients were deemed non notable and
WP:SOLDIER has been modified accordingly:
diff. The articles of these recipients are being redirected to alphabetical lists. In this case, the redirect has been challenged because the subject was "the 3rd on the list of combat missions flown in the Luftwaffe". However, successful completion of missions (sorties flown, tanks destroyed, enemy shipping sank) is not part of SOLDIER. For a comparative AfD on a radar operator, please see:
Merge (a sentence or two) and redirect to
Hans-Ulrich Rudel. Hentschel gets a few mentions, all in connection to Rudel,
[1][2][3] and his death is already mentioned in Rudel's article.

Merge with cited mention in the Rudel article and redirect the name; agree with Clarityfiend, that would be reasonable.

Merge/redirect -- Another NN Knight's Cross recipient. We need to discourage such articles.

Nom's comment -- I added content about Hertschel to Rudel's article:
diff based on Hitler's Stuka Squadrons. The other two sources mentioned are a passing mention and non-RS looking. The sources in the article are
phaleristics literature of limited value. Squadrons is the best available. I believe the article can be redirected now.
