18.08.40 Oberst, KIA in a Do 17 Z-2 (F1+HT) of 9./KG 76 shot down by AA fire and crashed vic Sunny Croft, Golf Road, Kenley.
Right rank, right branch (Kampfflieger), and there is a probable assignment gap between 30.06.39 and 18.08.40. Odds are about 9 : 1 that this is right one. L.

Manfred & Larry
Thank you very much indeed for your help with this!
After trawling through all the Luftwaffe Officer named 'Sommer' on the Luftwaffe Officer Career Summaries, as you say Larry, surely this is indeed the right man:
Dr. Otto Sommer.
Thanks to all with their help with these signatures.
Regards Richard.
