Re: Identity of pilot
Hi,

Have done a little bit of research on the net and discovered he died on 30.05.1944 in Athens.

Can anyone provide which unit he was with?

Re: Identity of pilot
Just realised I have his Sterbebild too.

This states he was an Oberfeldwebel with the EK I and II.

Killed in the South East
