Information concerning the loss of pilot Kurt Kreuz - ground attack pilot - killed 05.05.44

Hi,

Can anyone provide information on the unit and reasons for loss of Oberfahnrich Kurt Kreuz.

He was a pilot with a Schlachtgeschwader and was killed on the 5th May 1944.

On his sterbebild it also says he was a keen glider pilot with the Hitler Youth.

Many thanks

Rick
