Note the different werknummer although I have noticed that occasionally the QM 6 has errors and so would I would rely more on the information that Prien provides. I entered the co-ordinates ML-8.3 of the Jägergradnetzkarte into the Luftwaffe Grid Map Converter at www.gyges.dk/reporting_grids.htm and the result was www.mapquest.com/maps?l=51.069444&g=5.305556 which indeed is nearer to Mol than to Nijmegen. I hope that I have done this correctly. Regarding Miksch, unfortunately the QM 6 lists both the cause and location of his loss as unknown. I hope this helps.
Horrido!
