looking for info about FW Willi Petersen

[nikkel]

Hello,
I have a feldpost letter from a FW Willi Petersen, the letter is from 19.05.1943, feldpost number L.55917 c Lgp Paris, to his parents in Kiel

he writes that his next flight is to England,

Feldpost number 55917(10.1.1943-26.9.1943)I. Gruppe Schnellkampf-Geschwader 10

There is a photo of a funeral could it be his funeral ?
Can anyone help to know more about him?

thank you regards Mike

Don't have him being lost with I./SKG 10 but have a Nils Peterson killed in October 1943?

Hello Chris, thanks but that's not him because he signed the letter with Willi
regards Mike

[Chris Goss]

It is him-his Christian name was Nils-Wilhelm-I guess he signed himself Willi

Hello,
thanks, that could be him,
I find it strange that he writes about his next mission about England, and that with a Fw190 A5,

Not sure by why you think what he wrote was strange?
