Re: GQM Verluste und Unfälle.

I never found that particular incident either. The loss reports, such as they are, are not fully complete. For example, in the Med in Feb-41, there are several Stuka incidents from St.G. 1 documented in books by Chris Shores & his team and Helmut Mahlke, none of which appear in GQM losses. Also, there was the instance of a future RK recipient, also a Stuka guy, going into the drink somewhere between Greece & Crete and the pilot and maybe the Bf paddling around the ocean for a couple of days until being found and rescued. (The Bf may have gone MIA, don't remember for sure. This incident may have been in the Obermaier book on Stuka & SG RK winners.)
