Re: 12/NJG2 losses 27/28th Dec 44
Matti, the 'K' report says the aitcraft took off from Ahlhorn at 2030hrs. after an hour the aircraft burst into flames and the crew baled out. The pilot being captured and the fate of the other two Kninpen age21, and Paul age 20 was not known. The pilot told his captors he believes the crew were suprised by a N/F,

Another member has now been good enough to send the NVM which confirms the Balss book as correct and shows Ff Wagener Kb Ruckert, Bf Kraus and Bs Balzer. The 'K' report described Ruckert as being the pilot stating his morale was high and his security was initially exceedingly good. So it would seem he gave false information about his crew identities.
