Thanks very much Matti, this clears up the names I have from Dietrich's book and now I have their respective a/c identities.

Rene, Matti,

As usual great information. But I wonder if you know the crew members of St.Kap. Walter Heilmann who was lost in 9K+AR on the 12th of September 1942? Kind regards.
