Uffz. Albert Kring, I./TG 4
 

Hello Members,

I'm searching for further information of an Uncle of mine (very distant relationship!), who was a member of I./TG4 in 1943. He was killed on Iraklion/Crete on 3rd of October 1943. With many thanks to the outstandig work by Byron Tesapsides, who is a member here (Die Deutsche Luftwaffe in Griechenland, page 281), I found out that he was killed during a bombing raid on Iraklion on that day. From his crew, further names known: Bordfunker Gefr. Ernst Dilenardo (wounded), Bordmechaniker Fw. Arthur Korilla (killed). The Ju52 (WNr.6965) was totally destroyed.

Sadly for me, I have no further information about him, because all relationships, who knows him, are not longer with us.

Every little information of him and his crew is very welcome.

Many thanks in advance.
Bernd
