Hi,

Can anyone provide details over the loss of airman pictured below in sterbebild.
You can see he was on his 43rd air mission and was an Oberfeldwebel in a Zerstorer squadron.
Many thanks

Do you know what happened to the rest of the crew?

Hello Rick

The Fw 190 A-4 was a single-engined, single-seat fighter so there were no other crewmen on-board. I hope this helps.

Horrido!
