Information on loss of Feldwebel Jacob Kaltner - night fighter - killed 28.09.1944
 

Hi,

Can anyone please provide information on the loss of Feldwebel Jacob Kaltner who was a pilot in a night fighter squadron and who was killed on the night of the 28th September 1944?

I am away from home so cannot affix a copy of his Sterbebild.

Thanks

Rick

Looking at sources on the internet I think he was part of a crew from2./NJG. 6 who were killed flying a Ju 88 with Fw. Willi Kraus, Fw. Bernhardt Tender and Uffz. Georg Schneiderbanger.

Don't know if this was operational flight and who they were intercepting though
