Re: Help with script on back of Luftwaffe portrait

Hello Rick,

Among the few words I could read, the location 'Parduwitz' is perhaps the most valuable clue when combined with the date of early July 1944. Because of the young age, I looked into the Luftwaffe loss lists for Schools and other units.

Please look at RL 2-III/779_0306, there is a Si 204 loss 'near Pardubitz' (Czechoslowakia) with 7 killed airmen. It is likely that your victim is one of these.

Good luck! Marcel
