Information concerning loss of Peter Hölzl - killed 07.07.41

[rickback4444]

Hi,

Have bought a strange sterbebild of Peter Holzl which only details his awards - EK I and Bronze Flight Badge.
Have looked on the internet and found out he was a radio operator in a squadron leaders crew.
Killed in air combat in Winica-Ukraine on the 7.7.1941
at the age of 21 but no information on unit or plane etc.
Can anyone provide additional information?
Many thanks

Rick
