Aye, I was busy typing my other post and after submitting it noticed that John had kindly answered the crash/burial question.
As for 15./KG 6 - taken from Bomber Units Of The Luftwaffe vol 1:
Formation; testing; re-designation (August 1942 - April 1943) Formed at Chatres, France, from Erprobungskommando 17 with He-111 to develop and test new pathfinding and target marking methods.....renamed Stab I and 1./KG 66 at Chatres (30th April 1943).
As he served in 7./KG 26 during the time when III/KG 26 were retrained as pathfinders it would make sense if he was part of a pathfinding trials team from Rechlin (maybe his 2 years at Rechlin were centered around various pathfinding & target marking trials.)
