Names for two EKM?
 

A report in Air2/8738 dated 16 Jan 1945 lists a Fw Wilhelm Gessele and a Paul Laue with the EKM's 67184/298 and 60028/180 lost 2 Jan 1945, North West of Seltz, are these names correct?
Happy New Year.

Belonged to a crew of NJG 100 flying Lotse for Bodenplatte. Crew is still missing (no graves registrated or as UdU). Will follow up with more details later.

No. 67184/298 is Fw Walter Vollmer and 60028/170 Fw Herbert Weberschinke, both killed 1 Jan 45.
Fw Wilhelm Gössele (not Gessele) had 67184/293. He was killed also 1 Jan 45 in the same aircraft as Vollmer and Weberschinke.
I cannot find any Paul Laue in my database. Could you give some more info on his death.

Matti,
Thanks, the VDK have Vollmer and Weberschinke listed as being buried at Niederbronn-les-bains amongst the unknowns, I can only assume that Gössele is with them, the name Paul Laue is attributed to one of the EKM'S in the report, if you would like a copy please PM me an email address.

Matti,

I have 60028/180 for Weberschinke. Did you make a Typo?

Thanks,

John

Ah, yes. Old fingers, you know. Also 7 and 8 are too near to each other in the keyboard :).
