Beobachter killed 30.12.1943?
 

Hi Guy's,

Found this on German eBay but sadly I have no data regarding this loss?
I believe his name is Erich Bartschiess, but I could be wrong!
Has anyone got the loss details for this fellow???

Kind regards,

Melvin

Have not found a NVM. Quite probably killed on ground.
