Re: Georg Schneider 3/JG21 StaffelKapitan

I'm afraid that all we have about this fellow is:

SCHNEIDER, Georg. 15.07.39 Oblt., TDY from I./JG 1 to I./JG 21. 26.05.40 Oblt., Staka 3./JG 21. 27.06.40 KIA – shot down by a Blenheim and crashed near Zeist.


Tom Kracker's website has a bit more:

Schneider, Georg. - Oblt. - Born:7/5/1913 - 7 victories - Stfkpt. 3./JG-21 (9/39, later bacame III/JG-54), Stfkpt 9/JG-54 (repl by Oblt Bob)Bf 109D, Bf 109E-1 "Yellow ~"(lost)EK 1 & 2, Fighter Operational ClaspKIA 27 June, 1940 by Blenheim return fire over Soesterberg, Holland.

Another, his 7th, a Blenheim 5 km S. Soesterberg 6/27/40, the day of his death.


That's about all we can say about this fellow. We hope that this helps.
