German Cross in gold winner from KG 55

Hello,

I have a nice photo of of Ofw. Wilhelm Klotz from 1./KG 55.
On the picture he is wearing the german cross in gold (Dec. 14. 1942), the spanish cross and the flying clasp (Frontflugspange)
He is not wearing any qualification badge and I haven't been able to find out anything about him.
In the book on KG 55 I cannot find him mentioned and in the books I have on Legion Condor no luck either.

I would like to know if anyone knows what he was qualified as, well anything actually or point me in the right direction.....Unfortunately I have come to a stand still with this airman.

Thank you in advance,

Christian

Did he survive World War II?
