Re: ? 4.(Schl)/LG2

Bf 110, thanks for the notice. We presently have 13 photos of this well-photographed a/c FL in the EOE DB, including several similar views. You can see the pilot's name fairly clearly in this view, confirming who was buried there. We would still like to know more details as to how this pilot ended up dead, after what appears to be a relatively normal forced-landing. He could have been wounded in the air and bled to death after the landing, or, for whatever reason, this could have been a case of a pilot who was killed on the ground before he could be taken prisoner. If anyone knows of any German records, or local eye-witness accounts that could shed more light on this issue I'd certainly like to know about it.

Regards,
