Hi all,
I am attempting to find out which bomber shot down Maj Kurt Holler. He was killed on the night of 21/22 June 1943 at 0141 hrs. His bordfunker Robert Gotha parachuted to safety. For details see

According to the Bomber Command Interceptions and tactics report No. 124/43 21/22 June 1943 there are two air combats reported near that time:
A Lanc from 5 Gp reported an encounter at 0135 hrs it was identified as a JU88. Holler was flying an ME110. The other encounter was at 0138 hours where a bomber from 6 gp encountered an enemy aircraft, believed to be an ME110. I am attempting to find the air combat report from 6 Gp. I haven't been able to locate it yet.
I have attached a spreadsheet of the relevant times of air combats from the Interception report.
Can anyone assist me with this endevour?
