Steve,

The English version may make things clearer for you:

Two aircraft mechanics of 4. Fliegerhorst Betriebs Kompanie KG51 were involved in this accident; Gefr Leonhard Knoll being killed, while Uffz Alfred Galonska was badly injured and admitted to hospital in Clichy, Paris.

6./KG51 Junkers Ju88A-5 (2135). Crashed into a Ju88 parked at Orly-Villeneuve on landing from sortie. FF Fw Karl Besenbeck, BF Fw Erich Laube, and BS Uffz Gustav Hinterlang all killed, BO Uffz Kurt Kempka badly injured - admitted to hospital in Orly. Aircraft 100% write-off.
