[rickback4444]

Hi,

I bought a portrait photo of a young flier with a detailed typed inscription on the back that read:

Obergefreiter Erich Schneider.

Bordschutze in a bomber squadron.

Born 7th April 1919.

Fell 17th July 1942

Buried on the Schatalwoke West cemetery

Can anyone provide details over his loss?

Thanks

Rick
