You just knew I would come and reply to this, didn't you...?

Anyway, focusfocus, here's what you are looking for:

1. Bf 110 E-2, S9+EH, W. Nr. 4443, P - Fw. Heinrich Kücke; Bf - Uffz. Johann Guse, both missing south of Mitina following mission against Wjasma airfield. 100%

3. Bf 110 E-1, S9+HL, W. Nr. 3980, P - Lt. Ernst Hackbeil, Bf - Ofw. Werner Martin, missing in the Jermolino area following mission against Russian AA guns. 100%

4. Bf 110 E-2, W. Nr. 2381, Crew names not known; belly landing at Waskowo following hit from Flak. (Note the loss return gives this bf 110 as a 'C' variant, but the W. Nr. is in the 'E-2' series. 100%

Sorry, I can't help with information from the Russian side.
