Thank you very much Remi, that is great information - With the location being Cleve that would make it BEdburg-Hau I expect. Strange how Volksbund have him dying there but buried in Russia.
Would you be able to tell me what the abbreviations N MSTO Ü,schl mean (although I think schl will mean schule)?

As 15./KG 6 isn't mentioned in his Wehrpass and all final entries are still stamped by Rechlin, I wonder if he was loaned to that particular staffel on behalf of Rechlin as part of the process to develop & test new pathfinding/target marking methods as mentioned in Bomber Units...vol 1 by Doug Stankey & Henry L. de Zeng? Before being assigned to Rechlin in mid 1941 he was a pilot in 7./KG 26 which was itself part of a pathfinding Gruppen so he would of had some experience in the role.
