Re: Gefr. Ludwig Spreitzer, 3./Erprobungsgruppe 210, killed in Bf 110 or Bf 109?

I have been looking at the death of Hptgefr. Peter Neven (Ground personnel) (born 17 Jun 1912 in Köln) who was serving with 3/Erg.Gr. 210 when he died at 2145 hours on 18 Jul 40 near Denain/France.

I believe that Spreitzer's crash was at 2100 hours and had considered Neven as a possible Wart making a test flight in a Bf110 however it turns out that Neven was killed by the accidental discharge of a pistol. I mention this here to save anybody else the time it took me to chase this down this particular rabbit hole only to find that he was not with Spreitzer.

Peter
