Help with some He177 KG40 losses

Hi

Can anyone confirm the following losses of He177’s :-

The loss of a HE177 on 24 Dec 43 flown by Ltr Kranz, WNr 535562 F8+LM II/KG40 to a Beau of 143 Sqn.

Two HE177s to 255 Sqn on 24/25-1-44 2km N of Nettuno Italy. One of the aircraft could possibly have been coded F8+NN from II/KG40.

Can anyone confirm that Wildcats of 881 Sqn Fleet Air Arm shot down a HE177 WNr. 535695 flown by Major Walter Rider of II/KG40 on the 12-2-44.

Did KG40 lose a HE177 to a Mosquito of 418 Sqn flown by Lt JF Luma on 13 Feb 1944 three miles South of Bordeaux ?

Any details of the crew would be of great help.

Regards
David
