Re: Oblt. Schifferings and crew, + 8.8.1940

This is a fairly confusing case. Those person were reported by Stabsst./KG 3 as follows:
1940-08-08, 2./Erg.KGr. 3, Pobiednik, 18 km östlich Krakau
Flugzeugführer Lt Bielas, Herbert, +
Flugzeugführer Olt Schifferings, Ernst, +
Bombenschütze Fw Hella, Wilhelm, +
Absturz. Bruch ? %.
1940-08-08, 2./Erg.KGr. 3, Altvatergebirge (Jeseníky)
Bordfunker Gefr Döhler, Hanns, +
? Gefr Wilde, Heinz, +
Absturz um 17.10 Uhr. Bruch ? %.

Because Hella, Schifferings, Döhler and Wilde are buried at the same place, it seems to me, that only Bielas was killed in a crash near Pobiednik and the rest in another crash at Altvatergebirge. VDK also says that Bielas was killed at Pobiednik and others at Altvatergebirge.
Unfortunately the NVMs have no info on the aircraft.
