2 May 1945
Sous-lieutenant PAILLONCY BURIN D'AYSSARD of GC III/3 "Ardennes" took off at 10h00 for a weather recon but lost radio contact at 10h50 over Freiburg. Infantrymen of 81e RI found his body the next day, in the trees of a forest near St Märgen, about 15 km east of Freiburg. After bailing out the pilot received fatal injuries when landing in trees.
At this time GC III/3 was flying with P-47 and was based at Colmar. No serial is given for the aircraft of Pailloncy.
Hope it helps
