Hi Joe

I have the following info for Hans Peterburs:

Born 9 October 1912 at Herne in the Ruhr region. Served as a bomber pilot in the Polish campaign. Transfered to Zerstörers and 6./ZG 1 in Spring 1940. Transferred to 9./ZG 76 in July 1940 participating in the BofB. On 24 April 1941, 9./ZG 76 was redesignated 6./SKG 210. In action on Eastern front gaining considerable success in the ground-attack role but also adding further aerial victories. Wounded in action 24 June 1941. On 4 January 1942, 6./SKG 210 redesignated 6./ZG 1. Ofw. Peterburs awarded RK on 25 November 1942 for 18 victories in 220 missions plus 26 aircraft and 19 tanks destroyed on the ground. 1 February 1943, transferred to Stab II./SKG 210. Later transferred to II./SG 4, converted to Fw 190. Killed 11 January 1944 in aerial combat with RAF Spitfires near Tommaso. Credited with at least 18 victories in approx. 300 missions. Some sources credit him with 22 victories.

Sorry, not much and quite a few holes. Hope it helps a little.
