[Hank C.]

Great combat grouping!

[hucks216]

Fantastic grouping with some great entries in the Flugbuch. I like the mention of the Hurricane - is this entry dated between 7th September & 8th October 1941?
I'm just curious if this is one of the fighters from the Royal Air Force 151 Wing or from the Red Air Force that took over the aircraft.

[Simon O.]

Great grouping, was he involved in the PQ17 attacks?

No, it was shot down at the 17th of may 1942.

When did that took place? There are several entries reff. attacks on "Geleitzug im Eismeer".

Here is the letter from his comander about his death during an attack at a carrier:

[Simon O.]

He was killed during the attacks on convoy PQ18 or QP14 which included the escort carrier HMS Avenger.

As is the case with all German war dead from North Norway that were moved post-war, he now lies in the main North Norwegian German cemetery at Botn-Rognan, east of Bodø
