Re: Looking for info on Feldwebel Hans Steinadler my friend has his ehrenpokal
Hello donitz1980,
in October 1942 Ofw Steinadler had received the „Deutsche Kreuz in Gold“. In mid-November 1944 he joined 8./NJG 5 (crew of Hptm Bobsien). On 1 Jan 1945 Bobsien was a pathfinder pilot for Stab/JG 6 and II./JG 6.
On 4 March 1945 / Operation Gisela the crew was missing, probably ditched in the North Sea:
