Hi Matti thank you for the clarification on Lessmann's loss, are the crew functions not recorded.
I know much details weren't always recorded during this period, on the GQM reports, would this be the case with the unit NVM's?
Kindest regs,

Unfortunately crew functions are not always recorded on the NVMs, especially in 1939 and 1940. If somebody knows them in this case I would be delighted.
