Information concerning the loss of Uffz. Franz Stieger killed 14.07.43 over Sicily
 

Hi,

Just bought a sterbebild of a Uffz. Josef Stieger who was a bordfunker with a stuka unit. He was killed on the 14th July 1943 over Sicily.

He was an experienced flier with the EK II and I and dive bomber badge.

He was 25 years old.

Please could you provide any information on his loss?

Thank you for your help.
