Information concerning loss of Kurt Höhner - bomber pilot - 1943
 

Hi,

I have just purchased a portrait of a Luftwaffe flier with some inscription on the back.

As far as I can decipher his name was Kurt Höhner or Hönner and he was part of a bomber crew listed as missing over Sicily in 1943. He was possibly a Leutnant?

I wonder if her ca be found with this limited information?

Many thanks

Rick
