Rick,

Does the death card you have show the airman in question? If so would like a copy to add to our website if possible? I found an image on the net of the crews original grave.

Chris, perhaps when you have published it you will give me permission to use it on our remembrance website with full credits to you?

Hi,

Prayer card has a portrait photo of Hans - very clear but has him down as fighter pilot?
