Information concerning the loss of Uffz. Josef Koch - killed 12.02.1944 over the Balkans

Hi,

Just bought a sterbebild of a flier called Uffz. Josef Koch.

Not much information on the card - appears in flying uniform and killed on 12th February 1944 over the Balkans?

Only medal stated was the East Medal? He was not even 21.

Thanks

Rick

Uffz. Koch went missing when the Ar-196A-3 (Wnr. 367, D1+KH) had overturned after an emergency landing in sea due to engine failure, some 30 kms SE of Athens.
Unit: SAGr. 126. Pilot Ltn. Hans-Walter Knust wounded (died later?).

Regards, Leendert
