Well, I actually owe this series of document microfiche. Bought from Germany. Original page is attached where report of 4962 is found at.
This is normaly referred to as "The Schulen" losses, against "Fighting units" were in a different series of records (reports), issued by GQM 4.Abt. on dayly bases thrughout the European War 1939/1945.

PS. Writing "HE111-H" is incorrect, as they could tell you in school, proper writing is one of keys to (good) research.
Correct writing is " He 111 H " - because manufacturer (factory) Heinkel was abbrevated by the German Air Ministry to just Capital "H" and lower case "e" and sub-version here was "H" - that differed from, for example, the He 111 P - by the type and version of engines used. The He 111 H-6 had 2 x Jumo 211 J engines with VS II wooden bladed propellers, and incidentally the H-6 was basically a Level-Bomber or Torpedo Bomber, and not a transport, altho it was easily converted to many roles..
Unit flying/using W.Nr. 4962 in April 1944 was correctly the "Flugbereit Generalluftzeugmeister" who incidentally was Chief of the RLM.
