Latvian Uffz Julijs Stars
Searching usual details (mostly AC and place) of the death of this Latvian pilot, killed on 10 October 1944 in a training accident on his second solo flight in an FW-190.
On the Grabersuche site, there is an Uffz Albert Stars, born on 13 July 1917, and killed on 10 October 1944 at Naugard-Minden, Pomerania. This area was at the time not seeing ground battles, so it is probably a Luftwaffe casualty, and there were several air schools in the area, so my guess is that it is the same man, with Albert maybe being the translation of the Latvian surname Julijs (?) or a second name.
The batch of Latvian pilots sent to training at the same time as Uffz Stars were sent to Parow, Plathe, Lignitz and Sagan according to my sources.
Thanks in advance
