[rickback4444]

Hi,

I am looking for further information on the loss of Leutnant Annon von Heimberg.

I know he was with 5./KG40 and was killed on the 26.11.42 but lack further details about his aircraft, crew, mission and who shot him down.

The information on Ebay inferreed hw was shot down in an air battle with the English.

Any help would be vry much appreciate.
