Information concerning Gefr. Ernst Wirnitzer - jagdflieger - killed 05.07.1942

Hi,

I have purchased 5 photos of this flier but there is no information on what unit he was flying with and how he died.

Information from the seller and photos name him as Gefr. Ernst Wirnitzer who was a fighter pilot and killed on the 5th July 1942 over Gleiwitz in Poland.

Could anyone provide additional details please.

Thank you

Rick
