As far as I could see the only known loss in the sea off Denmark was the G9+AK (3 man crew killed) on 1-6-1944 off Muldbjerb, but this is off the east coast. The crash location has also been described as off the mouth of the Lymfjordes is this the same as off Muldbjerb?

Yes it's the same location. But this wreck was partly recoveres by the Luftwaffe. And the third man was not a crewmember, but a mechanich, who they carried along on for the short stay at Aalborg-West. As there was no service personnel at Aalborg trained to service the He 219.
