hallo,

I'm looking after some information about Heinz Johann Lange (52220/24) of StG2 KIA in Belgium (Saint-Trond) on the 11 of May 1940. Buried now at the German military cemetery of Lommel, Belgium.
Thanks and greetings from Belgium

From Peter Cornwells TBoFTaN:

2./StG2 Junkers Ju87B. Shot down by Hurricanes of No. 87 Squadron over Tirlemont and crashed near St Trond 3.30 p.m. Uffz H. Lange and Obergefr A. Fischer killed. Aircraft a write-off.

From an earlier threat:
Heinz Johann Lange was initially burried at Brustem.

On May 11 StG2 lost a total of 12 aircraft in the larger northern Belgium area, on May 12 another three.

Regards, Pieter
