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 www.battleforthelocks.be FB: Battle for the locks |
