Re: 6.Minensuchstaffel loss on 18 Februay 1945

The crew list I have is :- Ff Ofw Karl Peuster m b 11-4-16
B Fw Alois Wastian + b. 29-3-14 Weilheim
Bf Ogef Kurt Ordung m b. 18-1-23
Bm Ogef Erich Lustig + b 29-12-07 Lutzen
Bs Uffz Wilhelm Steffen inj. b 12-8-20

The aircraft was attacked by 2 Yak 9s which silenced the Bs the Russian pilots tried to guide the Mausi to a Soviet A/f but after a few minutes the German pilot attempted to escape and was promptly shot down around midday the aircraft crashing 2 km south of Libau Latvia .
Matti was kind enough to check and correct the names for me . I believe the details of the shooting down came from an online source . Initial spelling of names came from the GQM .
