Ltn Philipp 1./KuFlGr.406 1942
 

Hi guys

I am endeavouring to correctly identify a Ltn PHILIPP (or variation of) who flew as a He115 pilot (or possibly observer) with 1./KuFlGr.406 during operations against convoy PQ17 (July 1942).

Any help appreciated, please.


Stay safe

I would say possibly not probably as he could also have been a Navy man. There is also confliction between 406 and 906?
