Fw. Leitner was a member of the 2./JG 5 and killed on 2.4.44 in combat with her Bf 109 G-6 near Rottweil.
Perhaps you should buy more books about the Luftwaffe than deathcards on ebay and you can answer yourself most of your questions. ;)

Thanks for your help.

I have a growing reference library on the different Luftwaffe units but nothing on JG5 in English.

I feel sharing my images ofsterbebild could be useful to others interested in specific units.

Your tone seems a little touchy1

Good on you Kaczmarek, I consider that obtaining items such as deathcards can only add interest when associated with specific units under research. More power to your collection.

rickback4444 does indeed seem a trifle touchy today.

Profound apologies to rickrack, the names in my post should be transposed.
I'll have to get out a bit more.
