NVM is not clear but it doesn't say 21 Sep more like 19 Sep. Fw Otto Strasser & 3 of his crew were POW and the only casualty was Kilper. Code was S3+PH and it would appear they were on their way to Munster-Handorf

Guys

According to an Article in Avions this was one 111 of three lost during the night between 18-19 Sept 1944, all of them over Belgium. Looks like only this aircraft has been identified with a WNr!

Cheers
