Re: Losses IV./KG76
Rémi:
I have made a mistake when putting together my database and 144604 is not correct.
Rémi and Ed:
I tried to put my ever diminishing brain cells to do something useful as follows.
This loss on 22.07.1943 is both in GQM and NVM reported by 5./KG 51 as 4609, which in my opinion should be 0884609 (Reasoning: 5./KG 51 had from this batch also 0884605, 0884606 and 0884608) and not 0880144609.
The four other losses reported with same WNr. 4609 by IV/KG 76 (14.10.1943, 19.10.1943, 23.04.1944 and 03.05.1944) are 0880144609, because 0884609 had been lost already on 22.07.1943 and 3./Fl.ÜG 1 West reported 144609 lost on 01.08.1944 (Absturz infolge Bedienungsfehler. Bruch 100 %.) possibly after having been repaired after belly landing on 03.05.
If this guesswork is correct, we would have minor problems only inside one Gruppe: IV/KG 76 (possible duplicate 14.10 versus 19.10 and short time between 23.04. and 03.05.). Otherwise the situation would be clearer.
Waiting for your comments (please, don't shoot the pianist!).
Matti
