Lt. Klemens Karl von Westerholt + April 1943?
 

Hi Guys, Just found another that we need details on - Lt. Klemens Karl von Westerholt + April 1943, cannot read the date to well on card but I believe its early April 1943 as it is a single digit. Any further details greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Melvin

No info on him. Maybe not flying personnel?

Hi,
There was a Lt. Klemens Karl von Westerholt with 9./SKG10. He was killed in action on 8 April 1943, when his Fw190A-4 (W.Nr.142327) crashed after a direct AA hit in the cabin from a 40 mm Bofors gun, between Mezzouana and Sfax, at around 1510 hours.

Sounds like your man.

Regards, Mike

Got it also. Problem was, that in NVM his name was Graf von Westerholt, Klemens-Karl! Mike gave already all the details, but as a confirmation this is what I have:
1943-04-08, Stab III/SKG 10, FW 190A-4, 142327, Si Salah ben Kethir, 40 km südwestlich Mahares, Absturz infolge Flakbeschuß. Bruch 100 %.
Flugzeugführer Lt Graf von Westerholt, Klemens-Karl, +
Bordj-Cedria/Tunesien, Hof SFA, Ossario 3, Tafel 7

Obviously I should use more imagination when searching names.
