Nachtjagdschwarm II/KG 53

Apparently this Gruppe, probably just 6 Staffel, operated their He 111s at night in 1942 and shot down in the region of 11 Soviet aircraft. For example, Lt Heinz Zoellner flew such a mission from Sechtschinskaja 2305-0400 hrs 15/17 May 42 and on this night, Uffz Georg Mistler claimed a TB3 at 2210 hrs-both were 6/KG 53. The only other references I can find is an Ofw Waldemar Teige (+3 Oct 42 and awarded RK for his bombing & night fighting) and a Fw Bauer claiming at TB3 2255 hrs 29 May 42. Can anyone add any more details?
