Re: P-38 Pilot POW August 25th,1943
A little mystery. Steinhoff himself says in some interviews that the name of the pilot was Capt. Widen.
When you go to the 1st FG website however (www.1stfighter.org"), you'll notice in the 1942 timeline that Capt. Norman "Cy" Widen was shot down on 18 Dec 42 by German ace Anton Hafner, who later visited Widen.
Perhaps all three had a drink together?
