Leutnant Günther KIA July 24th, 1941 - Unit?

Hello!

A Finnish source mentions that leutnant Günther got bullet hit to his head while on mission over Gulf of Finland. The deadly fire had been shot from ships. The aircraft was a Ju 88 which landed (diverted?) at Helsinki/Malmi, Finland. Günther was said to have been commander of the plane if that matters something. Time of the incident was around 3 o'clock AM Finnish time and date July 24th, 1941. Günther was buried at Helsinki two days later (July 26th).

Above is all I know about the man and the incident. I could not find the loss at the AHS Norway database. Mainly I am interested what was leutnant Günther's unit. Most likely KGr 806 or KG 77. All additional info welcomed.

Thanks in advance,
Kari
