I have aquired his flight helmet and goggles, but I would love to expand on this. I have done the all the googling possible, but was wondering if members have any additional information.
Interesting fact. He flew with Erich Hartmann in the same wing. He was flying Yellow Nine when he was killed on 03/13/44 after down 1 Lagg (113e victory) his was rammed by a crashing La5 and his parachute became entangled with the tailplane. On 03/17/44 he died from the sustained injuries.
He was describe as an aggressive fighter pilot, able to wear out is opponent before shooting him down. Here is a postcard of him and his flying helmet and goggles. Both is from the family. Jacques
