Karl Löffelmann (1919) from Luftwaffe Officer Career Summaries apparently doesn't fit because became a lieutenant only 1.Aug.42.
Maybe this info is interesting to someone.
Best regards,

Yes, Andrey, that's right. I have the loss entry in my notes for Erg.Gr./ZG 76 but there is nothing about the 2-man crew, so they must have both been enlisted (other ranks as the British would say). He would only have been added to the Career Summaries if he had been an officer at the time.
Cheers,
