Thanks Andy. I have found that Kolw ditched with Hptm Rammig on 29 Aug 42 so perhaps we can get a name that way?

Re: St Kap/St Fhr 2/123
 

How about Guenter Kolw, Heinz Bournot and Hans-Joachim Schuwirth?

Re: St Kap/St Fhr 2/123
 

I've got Oblt Helmut Rammig as St.Fhr. as of Apr42. Was he still in this position on 29Aug42 as I've got Hptm Hans-Werner Bayer as St.Kap. as of Jul42.

If you have the loss details for 29Aug42 what was the function of Kolw (Bo?) as Rammig was a pilot (and DKiG recipient)

As for Günter Kolw, Heinz Bournot and Hans-Joachim Schuwirth I've got no record of any of them (until now).

Re: St Kap/St Fhr 2/123
 

Andy: Correct-Kolw was the BO and awarded the Pokal; Rammig a pilot and awarded DKiG. Bayer was the St Kap
