See loss record:

Location is given as Eismeerstrasse km 184, which I believe must be close to the kilometer marker 184 on this faily long road. Would that fit your location?

Hello Andreas!
Yes I noticed the loss in Valtonen's book
Pohjoinen ilmasota. But Jakobstad/Pietarsaari is a little coastal (east coast of gulf of Bothnia) town a bit North from Vaasa (Vasa in Swedish). Germans surely had their own ideas which was Central Finland etc. but I have hard time accepting Jakobstad being at Eismeerstrasse. So, I am sceptical about it.
Haven't been working with the air observation logs for ages and in my very incomplete notes there is no signs for DC+EX. Fw 58 was not in my focus of interests then.
Cheers,
Kari
PS I am looking forward of seeing your new book. I hope the local aviation bookshop will have it soon.
