Hi John, thank you for the information. As to spelling names, I always spell the names as they are written on the graves in stone. I guess there will be cases where this is wrong, but I hope the family may have corrected any miss-spelling of their sons. I'm sure I had the pleasure of meeting you once at the IMW while you were gathering information for your book "Zestörer". I will not be offended if you do not remember me
I should also add, I know I have only been on this site for less than one year, but I have been researching Luftwaffe Losses for 41 years, so I would like to think I know a little bit about this subject. I do appreciate all the help from everybody here, I find this site the best site to answer my many questions and to get the facts right. I never claim my facts are 100% correct or error free, I believe no one knows it all (Well, with the exception of Peter Cornwell, that's a compliment Peter!), but I am glad of the 'Experten' who know a lot more than me. Lets hope this allows you all to understand me better, and accept me into your ranks. Kind regards, Steve Roberts.
