I found

Oberleutnant Hans Schneider, Staffelkapitän 13./JG 5, KIA 12.03.1945.
Maybe he is the one, you are looking for.

Regards, Horst

Hi.

I believe Hans Schneider had the rank of Hauptmann when he was posted as missing on March 12 1945. As far as I can recall, he was at Lister at the time, and was as Horst Kube stated the Staffelkapitän of 13./J.G.5.

He was probably flying from most major airbases in southwestern Norway in the spring of 1945, main airfield for the Staffel being Lister or Lista in norwegian.

Regards,
Andreas
