Re: Luftwaffe DKiG holder KIA on May 8, 1945
Hello John,
Oblt. Norbert Schmitt was awarded the Ritterkreuz on 28 February 1945 as a Staffelkapitän of 3./SG 10. He failed to return from a combat sortie in a Karmais (?) area in Hungary on 26 March 1945, presumably a victim of P-51 Mustangs (probably from the 52nd Fighter Group USAAF, whose pilots made 4-0-0 claims against Fw 190s over northwestern Hungary on this date).
Hope this helps,
Ota
