Kev-

A few more details I can add, your pilot is Unteroffizier Franz Job. He was lost in the area of Cassino due to Flak. In addition to Job his crew is as follows:

FF Uffz. Franz Job
BO Uffz. Heinz Mannel
BF Ogefr. Georg Kraue
BS Ogefr. Heinz Hoff

Their aircraft was a Ju88 A-4 designated L1+R1 WrNr 142431 100% write off, all crew KIA.

Cheers

Excellent detective work, I had wondered what became of Him due to lack of entries from mid 44 on!
Thanks so much men! Perhaps his award documents are out there in a collection and could be one day re united with His SB?
Thanks again!

Looks like the Frontflugspange Silver was awarded just after His demise, most interesting....
Thanks again Gent's
