Franz Blazythko.DKiG Holder
From Traces of War website, Franz Blazythko was awarded the German Cross in Gold on November 24,1941 while serving in JG-27 as a Luftwaffe fighter pilot. Do you have more information about Blazythko of what were his air to air combat kills and that he survived WWII?

Thank you for the information of Franz Blazytho. I thought he was recommended for the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross. But I was disappointedly wrong.
