JGr 101 pilot killed on 18 November 1939
 

In the book "Die Jagdfliegerverbände der deutschen Luftwaffe 1934 bis 1945, Teil 2: Der "Sitzkrieg", 1.9.1939 bis 9.5.1940", by Jochen Prien & al, there is the following loss:

On 18 November 1939 a pilot of 2./JGr 101 was killed when he crashed into the ground near Stade ("unfreiwilliger Bodenberührung" in German loss list). His Bf 109 E-3 WNr 864 was totally destroyed (100%).

The name of the killed pilot was not known (listed as N.N). Just wondering if someone has found it since the book was released.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for replying. May I ask you your source, please ?

Edited: I found two death cards on fold3 for Borell now that you provide me this name. Interesting is the fact that both show him belonging to 3./JGr 101
