[Matti Salonen]

For He 111, 8052 I have the following:

1944-04-15, 9./KG 55, He 111 H-11, 8052, G1+ET, Bahnhof Sarny
Flugzeugführer Fw Engster, Paul, vermißt
Kampfbeobachter Uffz Strauß, Reinhold, vermißt
Bordfunker Uffz Gärtner, Ernst, vermißt
Bordwart Uffz Lechelt, Otto, vermißt
Bordschütze Uffz Schmitz, Kaspar, vermißt
Absturz brennend und Aufschlagbrand. Bruch 100 %.

It may have had a belly landing in 1943 in 8./KG 53, if the code was A1+HS. An other possibility is that it was operated by 8./KG 55 and had code G1+HS, before transfer to 9./KG 55. It was built probably in Dec 42/Jan 43, so there was enough time for different speculations.
