Per Caldwell, this pilot abandoned his aircraft and was shot in his chute.

Re: Loss details required 30.01.1944
Jim,

I saw that in Caldwell's book also, but I would like to know where he got it from as I do not believe this is correct. The NVM does not say anything about it and the Ehrenbuch (RL10/270) says literally:

"Die Leiche des Fw. Otto wurde am Fallschirm 13 km südsüdostwärts Amersfoort mit Genickbruch, Brandwunden am Kopf und Beinverletzungen aufgefunden".

This does not indicate he was shot while descending in a parachute.

Cheers,

John
