Luftwaffe Aces who died during the Battle of England
I am looking for info concerning Luftwaffe Aces who at this time were considered very talented but didn't survived the Battle of England. I am looking for names and records before they were killed.

Oberleutnant Josef “Jupp” Bürschgens scored the first victory of WWII for JG 26 when he shot down a French Curtiss Hawk 75A over the Saar on 28 Sep 1939. He was wounded in the engagement and spent the next eight months recovering. He was posted to 7./III./JG 26 and scored a second victory on 9 June 1940 when he downed another French fighter. During the Battle of Britain, he was accidentally shot down near Rye on 1 Sep 1940 by the rear gunner of a Bf 110 and captured. He had scored 10 victories by this time.
Best regards,

Re: Luftwaffe Aces who died during the Battle of England
A new book titled Luftwaffe Aces in the Battle of Britain came out a year and a half ago, and if anyone wants to compile a list of German fighter aces killed in the Battle of Britain, this book can purchased at this link:
