Document dated 7/1:
On 5/1 Obltn. Reuter, Dipl. Ing. Heintz and Fw. Runkel crashed to death with Ju 388.
Uffz. Harms yesterday from Oranienburg to (word illegible).
NOTE: Source believes above was from Det. Sperling to Det. Hecht.
I think that the wording and the presence of a Dipl. Eng. aboard strongly suggest that this was not an operational flight or a loss to enemy action. I interpret the message as news from the Versuchsverband OKL that Kdo. Sperling was passing on to its "child", Kdo. Hecht.
