Fw. Horst von Tomaszewski 10./KG3 15/02/1943
 

Hi,

In the index cards ‘ Deutschland, im Kampf gefallene Soldaten, 1939-1948 ‘ (source Deutsches Bundesarchiv) which are available on Fold3, one can find a card for Fw. Horst von Tomaszewski of 10./KG3 with the remarks “ aus der Wehrmacht entfermt “ , “ Erschossen “ , “15.2.43 um 08.11 Uhr Brüssel” and “ Feldkriegsgericht d. Kommandieren den Generals d. IX Fliegerkorps “. Free translation : removed from the armed forces , shot, field court martial of generals of IX Fliegerkorps.

Is any additional information available ?

Many thanks in advance and stay safe

It appears there is another Bomber crewman who also shot. Fw. Bruno Scharnowski, 5./LG-1 with the note "esrchossen". It's interesting to trawl through this list on Fold3, especially since it is free.

Two different shootings-one as a result of court martial, the other shot while in the process of escaping (a common thing unfortunately)
