Re: Two 5./196 personnel
Hi Adam,

I can give the following info:
Lt.z.See Günther Mehrens (B) killed 17.05.40 with Ar 196A-2 W.Nr. 0075 6W+RN. Crashed during AS patrol in Kattegat. His pilot, Uffz. Heinz Büttcher was reported missing.

Lt.z.See Karl-Ernst Schmidt (B) missing 19.05.41 with Ar 196A-4 W.Nr. 0120 6W+EN. Missing after being shot down by Hurricanes over the Channel. His pilot, Ofw. Günther Nowak was also reported missing.
I think this is the same guy that you are looking for.
