Uffz Heinz Kühl Kampfgeschwader 51 "Edelweiss"
 

Hello

I would like to ask if anyone could provide me with information about Unteroffizier Heinz Kühl.
He supposedly flew a Ju-88 with Kampfgeschwader 51 "Edelweiss" that crashed in 1942. I recently acquired a bomber clasp that belonged to him.

Regards
Kristjan
