JG 3 losses at Rostov, 1 February 1943

Hello,

I found today two death cards for the same member of Stabskom I./JG 3, who was wounded by bomb splitters on 1 February 1943 in Rostov railway station and died of his wounds in an hospital at Krakau (German name of Cracow) on 13 February: his name is given as Sibo Jansen on both cards but is Ibo Janssen on Volksbund (same DOB, home town, date and place of death). Does anyone have the correct name of this man ?

By the way I checked fold3 to see what happens on 1 February 1943 in Rostov railway station and found death cards for five other men of I./JG 3 killed there on this date by bombs (cards: https://www.fold3.com/image/699270736 + https://www.fold3.com/image/693002077 + https://www.fold3.com/image/699622090 + https://www.fold3.com/image/692925420 + https://www.fold3.com/image/693263030 ). 2 of these cards say the death occured at 1715 hrs, so it was at night. Has someone a report of what happened there ? Maybe in Prien's old JG 3 books, that I don't have.
