Re: II./KG 100 30 Sep 43
According to all my sources, two aircraft of II./KG 100 were shot down off Corsica that day. Roba's KG 100 book give the crew and lists 7 MIA and 2 POW. The book "Pilotes français sur l'Afrique du Nord et la Corse" says that three POW were interrogated:
Uffz Franz Bauer (23 years old), flying enginner/air gunner (listed as MIA by Roba)
Uffz Hugo Kratz (23), flying enginner/air gunner. Joined KG 100 in JUly 1943 in Cognac, fought on Eastern Front in 1942
Obgfr Arno Widra (21), radio. His aircraft was sent to take pictures of the raid and did not carry bombs (Roba said that he was lying).

This book does not list his sources for the above.
