I have:

Flugzeugführer Uffz Trocka, Gerhard, + Kampfbeobachter Uffz Sander, Rudolf, + Bordfunker Gefr Sieger, Erich, + Bordschütze Ogfr Trautner, Wilhelm, + 144375 went missing 1943-08-13 (8./KG 26) 1943-10-16, 12./KG 6, Ju 88A-14, 1735, Chevannes, 2 km südlich Mennecy bei Bretigny, Jägerbeschuß. Bruch 100 %. Flugzeugführer Uffz Hoffmann, Karl-Ludwig, verletzt Kampfbeobachter Ogfr Hege, Erich, verletzt Bordfunker Ogfr Straub, Franz, verletzt Bordschütze Ogfr Gucy, Dominik, + I believe, that 141735 cannot be correct. I have no WNr. between 141283 and 142001. Probably correct could be Ju 88A-4, (88)1735? Matti |
