I don't know what findings have resulted in such a way to make Steenbeck change the previous held view.
It would also be interesting to know why Biewendt was connected with WNr 6240. Was he badly wounded on the 20th and died the day after (21st) or was he killed on the ground?

Many thanks Stig!
According to Yannis, it was listed as dead the day after but actually he was killed on May 20th. In his book he show his JU 52 hit (photo from AWM), and his researches led him to this statement. Considering that many men of III.Zug 14 (FJR.1) were killed after the crash of his plane on 20th, I'm with him about the date of death..
