About the first loss, the Volksbund database has an Uffz Ernst August Damrau who died on 2 September 1939 in Pillau/Neutief.

This is in all probability the same man, but there is a discrepency on the death date (maybe due to a night crash?).

There are several Hoffman listed by the database on 2 and 3 September but none is a Leutnant, and none died in Pillau (tested all possibles writings for Ho(e)f(f)man(n)).

Seaplanes, seeing your name just reminded me I had a question for you for some time. On 2 October 1944, a 605 Sqn Mosquito flown by Flt Lt Roy Lelong claimed 5 Do 24 destroyed and two damaged in Jasmunder Bay, and a Bv 138 damaged off Rugen Island, all on "the ground" (ie water in these cases). Do you have anything about such losses ?

Thanks in advance, and sorry for hijacking this thread
