Hi guys
Many thanks to Remi and Fredo for the information concerning his birth date and location and Chris for the alert concerning the photograph. Bill, honestly I have no information concerning the circumstances of his loss so unfortunately I can not add any information on what he up to when he fought his last battle. Here is the Amazon link to Gross's book concerning V./KG 40 if any one is interested:
