Re: Mai and Schack
Hello Leo,
Ofw. Lothar Mai was killed in action on 27 August 1943, not 27 October. On his fateful flight he was flying Fw 190A-5 WNr. 7354 (or 7357), weisse 9, and fell to his death southeast of Ssewsk after being rammed by enemy aircraft (or possibly collided with Günther Schack´s aircraft, but e.g. Ernst Obermaier doest mention that Schack was involved in such an accident). Posthumously, Mai was awarded DKiG on 17 October 1943.
Hope this helps a little,
Ota
