Leutnant Kurt Eichler JG3, JG2
 
Eichler is credited with five victories but I can only find one in the sources, apparently his fifth, an SB-2 on 17 July 1941 with JG3. He may have served elsewhere to accumulate his early victories. He was KIA 16 April 1942 while serving with 2./JG2 probably a victim of Polish Spitfires.

best regards

Keith

2./JG 3 1-5 Jul 41, 3-6 Jul 41, 3-10 Jul 41, 4-11 Jul 41. Bakerman beat me to it!! Assuming he was lost around 1130hrs, Polish Spitfires are a good choice
