KG27 loss 06.04.1942

Hi,

Does anybody have any details of a bomber shot down on 06.04.1942 near Cholm? The plane was from II./KG27, onboard was Oberleutnant Kappes. I'm particularly interested in the plane's call-sign and the names of the other crew members.

Thank you
Dave

Thank you Master

My question had slipped down to page 2 and was seriously in danger of disappearing into oblivion unanswered, hence my impatience.

Your help is most appreciated. Thanks greatly John.
