Hrdlicka - 27 September 1944

[Leo Etgen]

Hello

On 27 September 1944, Hauptmann Franz Hrdlicka (45 victories, RK, killed in action 25 March 1945), Staffelkapitän of 5./JG 77, was shot down by RAF Spitfire fighters near Arnhem and wounded. Would anybody have the loss list information for his fighter that day? Many thanks.

Horrido!
