Hi,

I wonder if someone can tell me what happened to these air crew from squadron 210?

The back of the photo has the following information

Further to my post #5, the guy standing next to Schilleng is Hans Tillheim. (I must get around to tidying that photo up in Photoshop!)

Pilot Uffz. Hans Tillheim was killed on 31st January 1942 when Me 210 A-1, GT+VH, W. Nr. 090, overturned on landing at Landsberg-Lech airfield.

John,
Don't know anything about him or his fate. All Natzinger & Schlee told me about that photo (I saw an original at the Wespentreffen in the mid-1980s) was that they were all good mates and the photo was taken on their off-duty time.
