Brian, GQM dated 6-4-42 shows III/St.G.3 Ju87D-1 2111 Malta 100% fell to fighter fire, crew rescued - then in pen it shows Bf Gef. Helmut Suchlich + which is confirmed in an admendment note GQM report dated 14-4-42. Would this indicate Suchlich died after being rescued ? I don't have any luck with the Gravesearch site perhaps he has a known grave,
