What time was Siegfried von Matuschka killed?
Dear All,
I know that Siegfried von Matuschka was killed in action on 16 April 1943, but I have not been able to find the exact time. Do you happen to know the exact time, not just the day, when he was killed? Thank you very much in advance.

Dear Leo,
Thank you very much for your answer. The problem is that most sources give the 16th of April as his death date. Poor Sigi! He seems to have been so sweet... Best regards, Teresa Quote:

...and I can see no claims by the RAF or USAAF at around this time?

Hello Chris,
according to JFV Vol. 10/IV page 568 he was not shot down. In the course of an air combat with Spitfires on 15 April 1943 he pulled out of a dive and the plane broke down. He parachuted, but the fabric got torn in the air. Regards Leo
