He 111 loss Ogefr. Fritz Schollmeyer + 15.10.1944

Hi Chaps,

Searching for info regarding the loss of a He 111 which was shot down on the 15th October 1944 at Kesselbach. I have the pilot being Fw. Heinz Kirschmeyer + and Bordmechaniker Ogf. Fritz Schollmeyer +. Can anyone supply any futher details of this loss? I have a photo of Schollmeyer which I would like to add to our remembrance pages.

Regards,

Melvin
