But here some dates.
As a volunteer he joined LW in 1941 and was trained as a navigator using FW-58 and JU-86, later he joined the STG102, a training unit, 1942 service in Russia, in 43 in Italy to join the Afrikakorps, but too late..
Again in Russia and Finnland (for attacks to the convoys), end of 44 shot down in Russia, captured, but refreed by a Wehrmacht counterattack. Afterwards he joined the SG2 and was trained for piloting FW190, but in lack of fuel only a few flights,
May45 captured by British in Northern Germany,
released in autum 45.
After the war he did his job as a teacher and died 2006 at the age of 83.
Once he told me, that he`s a happy guy, 50% of the men, born in the same year as he was, stayed on the battlefields, and of the rest again 50% are still died.
