Would someone be so kind as to list the rest of the crew, if available? Thanks-Jim P.

Could that be Batina, now in Croatia (in WW2 part of Hungary)?

Oblt Wodarz from Ln kp KG4 that's the one I hv , Batina is strong contender for the name sure is .atina nd probably the letter missing, the first nd only one , hv to be a B

Wodarz is posted as missing report from mid-january , the other plane involded is not named

Re-reading the docs found something about Seenotflotille 50, maybe more to do with Marine oder..., in " Egöroy ", seems remembering that you ask about in the past ..
