Ofw Fritz Krüse

Hi,
I am searching all kind of info about Ofw Fritz Krüse.

He shot downLancaster W4171 down. This Lanc came down in my town, Mol-Belgium.
I hope to get in contact with some of his family members.

Krüse died in a crash (Bf 110) on his airfield 'Venlo - NL', may 17th 1943.

Best regards,
Wim Govers
