Re: 2/123 Losses

Ok. Using Remi's theory of the last time he flew with them was when he wrote their fate, on 21 Jul 42 he wrote that his Funker, Fw (and it looks like Dobolz or Gobolz?) went missing with another crew on his 99th Feindflug. On this date, 2/123 did lose a crew but the BF was Ofw Gerhard Seidel. Hessinger's 99th was 18 Jul 42 so it would be sometime around Jul/Aug 42. Any suggestions?
As to his regular crew, I can only say that on 23 Sep 43, he flew 2/123's 4000th mission and I have photos of his crew on that day-Ofw Helmut Dorries, Ofw Herbert Huster & Fw August Fastenrodt (of interest the latter flying with Ofw Alfred Nitsch on 23 Aug 42 on the Staffel's 2000th mission)
