Re: Translation of script on reverse of photo
Can't help too with the translation, but this would seem to be the loss - and given that information - killed 2.7.42 bei xxxxxx Feindflug 40km xxxxxx Oerlandet in Drontheim Fjord. Can't read the rest other than to suggest that his remains were recovered on 10-Jul-42.
Bf 109F-2, 8979, Ortner, Uffz. Heinrich, , IV., IV., JG 5, , , BC+KC, , 02-Jul-42, Killed in crash at sea., , Lfl.5/Norwegen, Gen.Qu.6.Abt. (mfm #6)-Vol.10, , bei Insel Tarven, 100%, F, , ,

Re: Translation of script on reverse of photo
"Heinz Ortner
geb. 15.9.21 + 2.7.42 bei einem Feindflug 40 km nordw. Örlandet im Drontheim Fjord bestattet am 10.7.42 im deutschen Heldenfriedhof Drontheim Stavne" Best regards Rasmussen P.S.: loss of Gefr. Köhler (22.04.1940) --- the correct designation: Sch/ FAR 32 ... and FAR isn't "Fallschirm - Artillerie - Regiment" but should be "Flieger - Ausbildungs - Regiment".
