Hello John,


thanks for your reply.


Doing research on this crash. Can not find any information about Fhr Münzer. Is he still buried on the cemetery. Is known, where his aircraft crashed exactly?

Crashed Kutzleben near Kölleda.

That is all I know. Grave maybe still there, could be that relatives brought him to a private grave near their hometown after the war. Maybe graves at either place do no longer exist. Several possibilities. VDK might be able to help.
