Info required on Lt. Peter Baumgartner ( 7./KG 55 )

[Adriano Baumgartner]

Good morning for all,

I am looking for information about this Lt. Peter BAUMGARTNER, who flew with 7./KG 55.

I would like to know, if possible if he was a pilot, a beobachter; if he survived the war or was shot down; anything would be great.

I do know, from some posts here that there is a book about the KG 55 written in German. Maybe someone who possess it could have a quick look for me ( PLEASE! )?

Many thanks in advance.

Doug, Michael and Jaap;

I think I had forgotten about this thread...only now researching on the Archives I found it. Please do accept my warmest thanks for sharing what you had at the time about Lt Peter Baumgartner, from 7./KG 55.
That information helped me about the search for BAUMGARTNER members of the Luftwaffe in WW2.
Sorry for have missed those precious answers...
Yours
Adriano BAUMGARTNER
