This information from Prien's IV./JG 3 volume.

Horrido!

I am interested in finding any information I can concerning Rolf Steinke of 12./JG3 as I am about to purchase his award documents.

Can I take it from the information in this thread that Steinke was shot down and killed by a USAF pilot of the 355 Fighter Group?

If this is indeed the case, is there any way of putting a name to this USAF pilot?

Any help or pointers in the right direction really will be very well received.

Hopeful in anticipation.

Regards Richard.
