Information concerning Loss of Feldwebel Otto Bauer 0ver England 30.09.1940
Hi,
Could anyone provide details over the loss of Feldwebel Otto Bauer who was killed while on a mission over England on the 30th September 1940. I found a couple of Bauer's who were listed as missing on this day in the Then and Now Battle of Britain book. Is he a KG2 man? Thanks for your help as always Rick |

RL2 III 1175 dated 07-Oct-40 Ber. d) strikes Uffz. Schonn from the crew list that was originally reported on 02-Oct-40 21. for this loss.
I have no further details. Maybe he was in a different aircraft and got back safe? Regards, Norbert |
