Re: pilot Hans Steiner-which Luftwaffe unit?

Hans Steiner has found his last rest at the Oschersleben war cemetery.
There you can find his name on a gravestone.
Only his name has passed on.
It seems that no personal records have survived.
Spoken records indicate that Hans Steiner was a young pilot
and that his home was the Munich (München) area in Bavaria.
Villagers had watched his smoking plane when it came down near
Warsleben (some km W of Oschersleben) and have found him in his demolished plane.
I was told that he was alive for a short while.
Could not find his name in lists for missing persons.
I guess that his personal documents were lost in the great confusion
before the war ended (like so many other documents).
