Leutnant Steinhardt - Luftwaffe and Allied Air Forces Discussion Forum

David P. Williams · #1 5th February 2007, 05:13

I am looking for any information about a Luftwaffe pilot Leutnant Steinhardt or Steinhadt, who was killed in a flying accident in April 1942, whilst attending the Night Fighter Schule at Schleissheim. I believe he was flying a He 51 at the time. Any details about how the accident occurred, or more details about the pilot himseld would be very much appreciated ie first name etc.

Many thanks,

Hey David

Lt Johann Steinhardt was killed 08. April 1942 by an air-kollision with a He 51 / WNo.873. The location was Spaichersee? or Speichersee? near Munich.
He was flying a He 51 / WNo.2135, I don't knew the code of this aircraft.

Hi JoMe,

Thank you very much for the information, i am very grateful to you. I am in Germany this weekend spending 4 days with Karl-Ludwig Johanssen. Karl-Ludwig was Steinhardt's Funker and when he died Karl-Ludwig was assigned to Martin 'Tino' Becker. I'll pass on the information. Once again, many thanks,
