Information Concerning Loss of Oberfeldwebel Konrad Rieder

Hi,

Please could anyone provide information on Oberfeldwebel Konrad Rieder.
He was killed on a night bombing mission on the 11th August 1942.
He was an experienced flyer and had already won the EK I and II and the Golden Spanish Cross and the German Cross in Gold.
His sterbebild says he flew with Kampfgeschwader Bölke.
In what theatre of war was he killed? And who were his other crew members?

Many thanks

Rick

Oberfeldwebel Konrad Rieder

Hello Rick

11 August 1942: He 111 H-6 "1G + IT" (W.Nr. 7370) of 9./KG 27 crashed at Woronesch due to fighter fire. The crew were pilot Oberfeldwebel Engelbert Heiner (wounded), radio operator Oberfeldwebel Konrad Reider (killed), radio operator Oberfeldwebel Friedrich Dietrich (missing) and aerial gunner Unteroffizier Gerhard Wenalt (killed). I am not too sure about the flight engineer's surname. I hope this information helps.

Horrido!

Leo

Hi,

Can't access my primary source at present but I have Dietrich as Observer (and also killed) and Uffz Gerhard Wendt as Engineer. Wenalt/Wendt is probably misinterpretation of a bad duplicate copy typed loss list so I'd welcome confirmation as to what the name actually is!

Regards,

David
