[Adriano Baumgartner]

Good morning to all members.

I do have raw information about 4 losses of KG 27 in August and September 1943, which I would like to obtain more DATA and help, if possible.

They are:

13 August 1943

It seems that Lt. Erich Vogel, from 7./KG 27 collided with another machine, in flight, near the aerodrome of Mirgorod. Vogel was flying on the He 111 H-6 codes 1G+KR (whose werknummer I do not know). I do have all the crews names, but do NOT have Vogel's crew disposition, neither the other machine codes and werknummer and crew disposition (who was FF, Bf, Bs, Beob). It was another 7 Staffeln machine, probably flown by either Fw. Günther or Fw. Pfauch).

18 August 1943

According to a testimony, Uffz Rudolf Viziblo flying a He 111 H-6 from 6./KG 27 was hit, but keep the airplane flying so his crew was able to parachute behind German lines. Sadly the pilot crashed near Eilenowo. Does the CODE, werknummer and other crewmembers are known?

20 August 1943

A machine from 6./KG 27 was shot down by fighters that day. I do have the names of Ogfr. Kurt Budrat; Fw Bruno Daika, Uffz Karl Gebhardt, Uffz Josef Schlamm and Gefr Herbert Schwanke; but DO NOT know their functions on board and neither the machine's codes and werknummer

27 September 1943

Major Kurt Wallbaum, flying the He 111 H-16, codes 1G+AT was shot down. He was from 9./KG 27. I do have the other crew names, but do not know who is the Bf, Beob, Bs, etc....neither the aircraft werknummer. Is that known?

MY GRATITUDE for any kind of help.
