Translation of script on reverse of photo
 

Hi Guys, Here is another interesting one. Would like to know the identity of this fellow killed on the 02.07.1942, nice portrait shot that we would like to add to our remembrance pages.

Regards

Can't help too with the translation, but this would seem to be the loss - and given that information - killed 2.7.42 bei xxxxxx Feindflug 40km xxxxxx Oerlandet in Drontheim Fjord. Can't read the rest other than to suggest that his remains were recovered on 10-Jul-42.

Bf 109F-2, 8979, Ortner, Uffz. Heinrich, , IV., IV., JG 5, , , BC+KC, , 02-Jul-42, Killed in crash at sea., , Lfl.5/Norwegen, Gen.Qu.6.Abt. (mfm #6)-Vol.10, , bei Insel Tarven, 100%, F, , ,

"Heinz Ortner
geb. 15.9.21
+ 2.7.42 bei einem Feindflug 40 km nordw. Örlandet im Drontheim Fjord
bestattet am 10.7.42 im deutschen Heldenfriedhof Drontheim Stavne"

Best regards
Rasmussen

P.S.: loss of Gefr. Köhler (22.04.1940) --- the correct designation: Sch/ FAR 32 ... and FAR isn't "Fallschirm - Artillerie - Regiment" but should be "Flieger - Ausbildungs - Regiment".
