He is there:


OEBEN, Anton.01.11.43 in KG 6, promo to Hptm.29.01.44 Hptm. and Ia in Stab II./KG 6 (to
28.02.44).01.03.44 Hptm., appt Staka 6./KG 6 (to 25.03.44 POW).24/25.03.44 Hptm., II./KG 6
POW - in Ju 88 A-4 (3E+AP) shot down by Mosquito of 456 Sqdn. over Arondel in the Whitehall-
Westminster area - crashed vic Walberton near Arundel/Sussex.01.08.44 officially listed as a POW
or internee in a neutral country


50 operational flights, albeit earlier in the war, did give him a degree of experience and by 1944, they were short of such bombers pilots especially with I./KG 6 having lost its Gr Kdr and other experienced officers when bounced by 609 Sqn a few days earlier
