Re: Information concerning loss of Leutnant Oswald Lochbrunner - killed August 1941 0ver Moscow
Hi Leo,

Thanks to your information I have been able to find out that Lochbrunner carried out a night attack on the 10/11th August 1941 over Moscow attacking aircraft factories there. The attack was a great success and his aircraft was the only loss.
He was apparently the staffel leader of 1./Kg 100.
His aircraft was lost when it collided with a barrage balloon over the target and it fell into the Moscos river with all aboard lost.

Thanks

Rick
