Maj. Kurt Holler: 9./NJG1 Stab III./NJG4 18 Victories.

Killed 21-22.6.43 at Duivendijke, Schouwen Island in return fire from bomber.

"Maj. Kurt Holler of Stab III./NJG4 (temporarily detached to 1./NJG1 and flying from Gilze-Rijen airfield) shot down a 429 Squadron Wellington in Zeeland province for his 18th Abschuss. While intercepting a second bomber at 01:41, his Bf110 E-2 G9 + AD was hit by return fire and Holler crashed to his death at Duivendijke on Schouwen, Zeeland. His Bordfunker, Fw. Robert Gotha, escaped with slight injuries to fight another day."
