Re: Franz Steiger meets Charlie Brown 379th
From what I've heard, Sawallisch committed suicide by flying into the ground. I have a copy of the painting, and I'm not sure about the veracity of the details. Franz flew in the Reichsverteidigung with JG 27 as Kapitaen of 12. Staffel, and there is no doubting his bravery in this period. He still has a hole in his forehead from a .50 slug from when he was attacking a Viermot. He was also awarded the DKiG during this period. Apparently he did not fly any combat with JV 44.
