Max's brother, Franz wrote in the book, Der Adler von Lille that Max's plane vibrated apart in the air causing the inevitable crash. The book was written in 1936 (I think) and Franz seemed to be exhoriating the next generation of German airmen to take their duty as seriously as Immelmann had in the previous War. I suppose that dieing from an accident was preferred to having been bested by the enemy. In any case, I believe it is correct that there was no autopsy.
