Hi,

Can anyone provide information on the loss of Uffz. Alois Gartner who was an experienced flier with campaigns in Norway, Crete and the East.

He was lost on the 3rd November 1943 in the air war over Russia at the age of 23.

Thanks

Rick

Hi Matti

Thanks for information.

Seems strange to my amateur mind that flying personnel were on a glider?

This cannot have been normal?
