Re: Lt Josef Kociok death?

In Ernst Obermaiers book about RK winners from the Jagdwaffe, it states that on the night between sept. 26. and 27. 1943, he collided with the russian DB-3, he just had shot down. This happened in Kertsch/Crimea.
When he and his BF Fw. Wegerhoff jumped out of their Me 110 G-2, Wnr. 6392, Kocioks parachute did not open and he fell to his death.
Posthumously he was promoted to Leutnant.
Hope this helps a little.
Christian
