Re: 6.Minensuchstaffel loss on 18 Februay 1945
I found the above loss on the GenQu. loss report of 28 February 1945, entry 14.
It has an important difference with the above website: the air gunner, Uffz Steffen, is not listed as being KIA, he is listed as wounded. That may explain why I did not find him in dead databases.
The four other crew are all listed as KIA, not MIA, the source of the data probably being the survivor.
The cause of loss is listed as "Absturz inf. Feindbeschuss" (crash due to enemy fire), so this aircraft was shot down, not lost operationnally.
