Hello,

Oberstlt. Alf Gieße, Gruppenkommandeure of Aufkl.Gr.123, was MIA with his crew, during night 3/4 September 1943. The aircraft was a Ju 88 and he was observer.

May be am I wrong, but I think that, usually, the Gruppenkommandeuren of the Luftwaffe didn't flew operational missions ... so, why did he fly such a mission this day (or this night) ? which specifical mission was it ? over which area ? and which was the cause of the loss of the Ju 88 ?.

Thank you very much in advance for any information you could give me.
