Re: KG53 losses on 23.10.41

Thomas

I have no way of knowing how accurate Kiehl is/was. His book is after all some 35 years old by now.

From where I sit, he at least seems to have tried to group the crews together.
Obviously he was not successful all the time, such as in the case of the unfortunate BS Puschmann whom I faultily mentioned in the present context)
The man I ment was actually Uffz Alfred Willnauer, also a BS in 7./KG 53 who was lost seemingly alone on the 23rd. I guess I was so confused by two Puschmanns that I lost track of the date...

Thanks for checking, and especially for clearing up the Puschmann mystery for me. Very much appreciated!!
Also since you are then quite innocent regarding the WNr 2484 it looks like GQM is the culprit since I doubt KG 53 would operate a frontline P-1 in late 1941. Would you or anyone else venture a guess and say that WNr 4284 is a good bet for the Gäbler crew?
