Hptm Lothar Keller II./JG 3

Keller was killed in a mid-air on 26 Jun 41 and it has been stated he collided with an Fi 156 or was in an Fi 156 with collided with another aircraft; can anyone confirm this one way or another?

Matti-should have asked you first but that confirms it. Ingwald's EKM confirms his unit and the ac's unit. Any details on the Bu 131 crew? Sad way to go but happened quite a bit

Stig,

The NVM has no WNr. and I haven't found it in other documents either. I would have told it if I had known.

Not really strange. Fog and pace of war usually to blame
