NJG loss on Eastern Front on 7 August 1943
On Pawel Buchard website about the Kursk air battle, there is the following loss listed for I./NJG 100 (was IV./NJG 5 before 1 August):

7.8.1943 Ju 88C-6 360138 C9+KU 10./NJG 5 (1./NJG 100)
Others, Ofw. Hans KIA with crew in Luftkampf
(probably enemy fire). Kolobowka 100% F

There is no trace of this loss in the books of Michael Balss, and I can find no man named Others on the Volksbund website.

I would like to have the names of the crew, and especially the name of the pilot: I wonder if his real name should not be Anders rather than Others, and it was at some time translated... Others is certainly not a common German name, while Anders is.

I would also like to have more details about the reported loss place. I have found two Kolobovka places, but far from the 1943 battlefields.

Thanks in advance
