Welcome Jörg,
and thank you for the information.


He was a former 8./JG53 pilot during 1943.
As for the accident you're talking about I have only two losses among them only one is possible:
a Bf 109 G-6 "Weisse 12" of 1./JGr. Süd, WNr.412113, RX+JA. 100% lost pilot's name not given. Cause: Absturz ins Mittelmeer um 12.00 Uhr. South Toulon (which means nothing except the combat did start in Toulon area and he crashed off Port de Bouc .. Or the contrary)
Nothing more i'm afraid but some guys here are better than I am.
..
As for the attachment do you know when and where this photo has been taken? Unit ?
Regards,
Franck.
