Airman Fw. Josef Fuchssteiner, France, May, 1940
 

Hello!
I am always having trouble with finding out about early 1940 LW losses...

This time I am looking for information on the above mentioned Feldwebel, who was a member of a flying unit. He fell the 21st of May, but I do not know, if he was flying at the time of his death.
Later he was burried in Köln-Südfriedhof, but this is all I know.

Hope someone can help me!
Thanks in advance

Christian

I think this is your man.

4./KG76 Dornier Do17Z. Returned damaged by flak and machine-gun fire during sortie to attack Norrent-Fontes airfield, north-west of Bethune. Fw J. Fuchssteiner killed. Fw R. Wolf died in Vogelsang hospital. Aircraft damaged but repairable.

Thank you very much Peter!
Do you happen to know the code of the plane?
If you want a scan of Fuchssteiner, please let me know.
Best wishes and thanks again.
