Re: Calling for help from Matti, Andreas B, Jim P and others

Luftwaffe loss statistics at this stage of the war are very complete and from my mind more reliable than combat reports at the enemy side. Therefore it is difficult to believe, that one Ju 88 is MIA and not shown in GQM or WASt documents.
Are the POWs really from a Ju 88 or Bf 110? There was the following incident with two POWs:
1941-11-23, 2.(H)/14, Bir el Gabr, Feindlicher Überfall auf Flugplatz.
Beobachter Olt Buddé, Hans-Dietrich, gefangen
B.P. Gefr Belger, Reinhold, gefangen
Could these be the ones mentioned by the 113 Squadron?

Also the loss of Bf 110 should be clear:
1941-11-23, Stab St.G 3, Bf 110 E-2 Trop, 4530, 160 km südsüdöstlich Derna, Notlandung infolge Jägerbeschuß. Bruch 100 %.
Flugzeugführer Olt Kraus, Edmund, verletzt
Bordfunker Fw Barfels, Helmut
