Michal, the crew of 701692 (S3+CH) were all killed when their aircraft was shot down by AA from 500 feet, after dropping its supply containers. The 'K' report gives the crash site as 5km. N/E of Gravelines at 2251hrs.
The 'K' report noted the pilot Ofw. Bernhard Kowalski carried a Red Cross Ausweis issed by Luftwaffen Kommando West. Paris on 23-6-1940.

All I have for 4416 on the 10-12-44 is the NVM which shows the crew of Uffz. Leonhard Albrecht as missing,

Hello,

thanks for reply :-)

An other report shows S3+CH as crashed in pinpoint 105827 which seems to be some beach west of le Casino at 22.25 o´clock and only four dead bodies of airmen were found. That´s why my question...
