2.) Lt. Alfred Gemsjäger/ Lt. Andreas Finke, 6.(F)/122, crashed near Brescia in northern Italy on 02.09.1944. There graves are now in Costermano on the german war graves cemetary.
Was the plane from the last one the following: Ju188D-2, "F6+BP", lost 1.9.44 near Cremona?

Orlowski was reportedly brought down by two P-38s.
With the second of these, I always had the date as 2 September 1944 and I understood the cause to be an accident.
