Re: Heinrich Ehrler KIA 4-4-1945

Hello,

please open following link:

http://www.aircrewremembrancesociety...45/Ehrler.html


" The wording of the death certificate, signed by Major Weissenberger and Oblt. Schuck, Staffelkapitaen of 3./JG7, gives no clue as to the precise cause of the crash: "Major Ehrler failed to return from a combat sortie on April 6, 1945. A body was found on April 7, 1945 near Stendal and an autopsy revealed that it was that of Major Heinrich Ehrler. Major Heinrich Ehrler was buried in Stendal cemetery on April 10, 1945.
"Walter Schuck states in his book "Abschuss", "whether Ehrler did ram actually or his plane was shot up by the rear gunner of the attacked B-17 during the ram attempt will remain one of the many unsolved fates of the war....Ehrler's grave at Stendal gives date of death of the 4th April 1945.


The question: What was the death date of Heinrich Ehrler: April 4 or April 7?

Best wishes, Karl
