 Specht would not allow women on the group base , considering them an unnecessary diversion . According to Knoke , one time Specht 's wife came to visit him on the II . / JG 11 base but was held at the guard room on Specht 's orders and refused to receive calls from the guard . Instead he asked Knoke to pass a message to her to ' put herself on ice ' , saying that he would only have time for her after the war . Specht however did not survive , dying five months before the war in Europe came to an end .
