Oberleutnant Wilhelm Messner, searching for Details

[Rolfeb]

Hi All,

Found some info regarding Oblt. Messner in https://www.tracesofwar.com/persons/...er-Wilhelm.htm

Based on ToW Webpage, Messner was flying Stab/Nahaufklärungsgruppe 15 and was awarded with DKiG Oct. 3rd, 1942.

Most probably a Wilhelm Messner became Staffelkapitän in 2./NAGr 13 in 1945.
This could be the same person but I have no evidence at all.
Are there more info available about Wilhelm Messner?

Thanks a lot in advance

Rolf
