Arnaud,

I don't have an answer about the Erkennungsmarke for Müller. Perhaps Peter Cornwell does and can address that part of your comments. Here is what we carry in the EOE Loss DB for I./ZG2 for April 7th.

"2./ZG2 Messerschmitt Bf110C. Shot down in combat with Curtiss H-75s of GC I/5 and Moranes of GC III/6 south of Sedan p.m. Possibly that claimed by S/Lt Warnier of GC I/5 at Beaumont-en-Argonne. (Ff) Fw Kurt Müller and (Bf) Gefr Herbert Penkert killed. Aircraft 100% write-off.

3./ZG2 Messerschmitt Bf110C. Shot down in combat with Curtiss H-75s of GC I/5 and Moranes of GC III/6 south of Sedan p.m. Possibly that claimed by Lt Dorance of GC I/5 at Stonne. (Ff) Lt Johannes Kiel baled out and captured unhurt, (Bf) Unterfw Werner Ehm killed. Aircraft 3M+AL 100% write-off."

As you can see, we don't have specific crash locations here nor a specific time, other than p.m., for the incidents. Any help that you could provide with these would be appreciated. Have you been able to locate contemporary crash photos for either of these losses?

Regarding Uffz Neumann & Lt. Lindermann, I did a search on these two names against our April, 1940 loss list and came up empty for I./ZG2, so I can't help you there.

Regards,
