Below is a link to the death record for someone who, I believe, was killed in action while serving in the Luftwaffe:

I've made some progress in transcribing and translating, but much of it has gone completely over my head so I'd appreciate help.
Here is what (I think) I have so far - question marks where uncertain/unknown:
Name:
Horst Schulz
DoB and PoB:
24.9.1920; Essen
Formation:
2 Staffel, Kampfgeschwader 100 now I./KG 4
'Ersatz truppenteil' (???)
???
Heading to the right of 'Ersatz truppenteil' - not sure what it says
62719/58 (does anyone know what this number refers to?)
Rank:
???
Day, hour, place and (?) of death(?)
31.10.43, 30km southeast of Beryslav
Killed in action: flak...(?) stomach (wound?)
(can anyone work out what it says immediately below 'Berisslaw'? I think it ends in'flug' but can't work out the first half of the word)
I can't decipher what the very last section says.
Help is much appreciated.
