Ofw Wüstner 8/StG 1

[Chris Goss]

The above was a BF and flying in the Battle of Britain-does anyone know his fate and is he the same Ofw Heinz Wüstner awarded the Ehrenpokal in 1943?

[RT]

If it is the Heinz, he was posted missing on 24.June 41, but returned, nd found his fate on 12. June 43, he died,

Thanks Gentlemen. My interest in him is that he was the BF to Oblt Klaus Ostmann of 8/StG 1 who was badly wounded 8 Aug 40 and I never tried to find out more about him. Now I have! Ostmann did crash again in Russia post 1941 but apart from a photo of the crash, I know nothing further
