Josef Forst? + 21.10.1944
Hi Guys, Searching for a translation of this death notice, not sure if Forst is correct, could not find him in my DKiG book. It would appear that he was killed in Norway on the 21.10.1944. Thanks for looking.

Regards,

Melvin

Melvin,

You are right, the name is Josef Forst. In the death notice there only is mentioned "Unglücksfall" (accident) as reason for why he passed. Only a guess: If the accident did happen while this guy was not aboard a LW-aircraft but rather on the ground (i.e. car accident) there will be no entry recorded in any LW loss list like NVM or GQM.

All the Best
Norbert
