Some help on ID a fallen Fallschirmjäeger

[Daniele Tirelli]

Hello! Would please need some support and help in trying and get more informations on a Fallschirmjäeger KIA. On the back you can read "...bei Maastricht". It came together with other loose photos all clearly removed from the same album, and related to very early months of war, and earliest Fj operations/campaigns. A few are taken at Eben Emael presumably very soon after the battle. I was hoping that maybe would have been possible to know if this paratrooper was one of those involved in the EE or Albert's Canal bridges operation. Many thanks for your help!!!
I think I can read ALFRED ERDRICH engraved on his Cross, if I am not wrong. May he rest in Peace.

And the grave on the photo is in Maastricht, a city in the south of the Netherlands....
