Kleinhenz' a/c was shot down by an American Lightning of the 1st Fighter Group and crashed north of Otopeni. An elaborate account by his BF will be published in the 2nd edition of the NJWD.

I would appreciate a scan of the Sterbebild of Kleinhenz, can the owner PM me if this is possible?

Cheers, Theo
