What context? Were they POWs, casualties, mentioned in a document or what?

Nothing jumps out of any of the usual sources. Maybe Matti has them as casualties later? I am working through KGr 126 & I./KG 28 FB and by luck, have identified all but one mentioned

I have none of these names, even in other units.

To be verified by our LW-experts: several with the surnames Mohr in later years. If Gustav Mohr: a Bf-109 pilot in JG 301 (crash 24 Apr 1944, Linz) and another Gustav Mohr in NJG 11 (killed 12 Dec 1944, Giessen).

As for Seidenberg: perhaps Hptm Herbert Seidenberg, although also in a Bf-109, killed 26 Jan 1945, 12./JG 3, south of Lübeck.
