Hi,

Could anyone provide details over the loss of Leutnant Karl Steinhauser who was killed in an air battle over the coast/or France on the 14th January 1944.
Steinhauser was a fighter pilot and is buried at Champigny-St. Andre.
Could anyone tell me which unit he was with, what he was flying and how he was killed?

With many thanks

Rick
