Oberfeldwebel Gotthilf Benseler - killed 23 Feb 44

Hi all

I have for some time owned a group of documents and awards to Oberfeldwebel Gotthilf Benseler. For most of his service he flew as a Radio Operator with III. Gruppe KG3 but on 9th June 1943 he was awarded the Pilot Badge. He was killed 23rd February 1944 but I do not know the circumstances of his death nor much about the unit with which he was serving at that time. He was awarded the Bomber Clasp in Gold back in July 1941 so was a very experienced airman. Sadly I do not have his Flugbuch so details are a little vague.

If anyone has access to information on how he was killed, the unit he was flying with or any other information on him, I would be very grateful for anything you can share.

I attach a photo of him and confirmation of his death.

Best wishes
Tim O.
