Good evening to all,
Pilot of above mentioned plane was probably RENZELBERG Karl. OBERGEFREITER. Born Feb.28, 1918 NÛRENBERG.
He was KIA and burried or re-burried at Deinze (B) on Sept.1,1948, grave n° P/32/585.
Who was his co-pilot or crewmate?
Thanks,
Fredcompa

Before Peter Cornwell replies, according to his and John Vasco's book, there were no I/ZG 26 losses on 10 May 40 (4/ZG 1; 4/ZG 26 only). Where are you getting your information from?

[Peter Cornwell]

No trace of this loss in any relevant records, and no such burial recorded by the VDK. As Chris says, where does this information come from ?

Good evening Chris and Peter!
Thanks for your reply.
The question " RENZELBERG " was a serious error on our side!
He died on May 5th, 1944.
At first he was burried in DEINZE (B) afterwards they re-burried him at LOMMEL(B), on P32 / 585.
Source: Book written by De Brouver Romain about the 2000 German soldiers on the Ehrenfriedhof of Deinze and Vinkt(B also); edition 2004 in Flemish...
A lot of Luftwaffe pilots are mentioned in it, who died on the airfield of WEVELGEM.
In 1949 all those graves were re-burried at Lommel (B) or RECOGNE(B, Ardennen-offensive).
Sorry again !
Fred
