Hptm Anton 'Toni' Keil II./StG 1
Keil was lost over the Soviet Union on 29 Aug 41. Location for his loss is given as Bajewa-Torobjez/1.5 km east of Skalova railway station and he was shot down by by fighters and Flak. Can anyone confirm what is correct and whether his BF was Knorf or Knof. Both were killed either in the crash or when Soviet troops set the upturned Stuka on fire; both have no known grave even though their deaths were confirmed 18 Sep 41
