Searching date of birth/death - Hptm Franz Steigleder

[Larry deZeng]

If I were you, I think I would engage one of the fee-for-service researchers who live in the Freiburg area and have a close working relationship with the BA-MA archivists. They could then convince BA-MA that you are not a militaria collector or someone who wants to glorify a "Nazi", but rather a serious writer who hopes to publish an article or a book about an RAF/RAAF bomber shot down by Steigleder that will focus on the participants, especially the bomber air crew personnel. I think this would be your best shot to quickly obtain a full set of copies of Steigleder's records. The total cost to you for this might be in the 150 Euro range. I believe the BA-MA web site has a list of these fee-for-service researchers.
