Re: Obltn Heinrich Koss 4.(H)/12 or 4.NAGr.12
4.(H)/12:
16.10.43: Bf 109G-2 shot down by a Free French Spitfire IX 15 km NE of Ajaccio/Corsica, one of two the Staffel sent out to check airfields in the Ajaccio area, 100%, Oblt. Heinrich Kess captured.
KESS, Heinrich. (DOB: 11.10.10). (W.B.K. Linz). 01.07.43 promo to Oblt. (Kr.O./Fl.). 16.10.43 Oblt. in 4.(H)/Aufkl.Gr. 12 - POW after his Bf 109 G-6 (White 10) shot down by a Free French Spitfire IX over Corsica [Version #2: crashed E of Corsica in bad weather].
KOSS, Heinrich. 16.10.43 Oblt., 4./NAGr. 12 KIA - Bf 109 G-6 (White 10). apparently due to bad weather.
KESS is the correct spelling. But, was he shot down or did he crash? Maybe he crashed as a result of being shot down?
