I have details of a large number of similar men, Luftwaffe aircrew mostwith KG, ZG or KG zbV, KuFlGr, Kurrierstaffel, usw, all killed/died in May 1940 in Holland. No aircraft details are listed but often the place of crash and even exact time, with original place of burial. I remember that QMG does not give NCO names so took the chance to record these.
I researched WASt material some years ago to collate information on 1940 Fallschirmjager casualties for a friend and recorded these because they looked interesting. I will probably have similar for Norway/Denmark/Belgium and France.
If it is of use I will type some of it up and put it on here. I do not need details but can provide this data if anybody needs it.
