Ofw Johann Schönherr

[Chris Goss]

Before I go to WASt, does anyone have any information on this chap who was with 1/ZG 76, then 6/NJG 1? I have nothing on him after his 2nd night kill in May 41 before he appears again with 6/NJG 102. Can anyone send me a scan on his NVM for 2-3 Mar 44 when his Bf 110 G-4 suffered engine failure and he baled out near Reutlingen?

I don't have the NVM but maybe this might help? I have no other entries for WNr. 2696 in my db - what I generally describe as a 'hole'.
