Information concerning loss of Uffz. Otto Riedl - fighter pilot - killed 24.09.41
 

Hi,

CAn anyone provide information on the loss of Uffz. Otto Riedl who was a fighter pilot and killed in an air battle on the 24th September 1941 over a Russian Sea?

I have looked on line and found info on a Kracker that names an Uffz. Otto Riedel from 3(J)/LG2 who was killed in Russia on 22.09.41 but just want to confirm if this is the same man?

Many thanks

Rick

Thanks Leo

Forgive my lack of knowledge but I thought LG2 were a bomber squadron?
