Thanks Brian,

So finally the Luft QMs list confirm a II./KG 26 loss, not a III./KG 26 one.

From the book 'Die Spur des Lowen', I don't understand the sentence "Angebi. existert ein weiterer gleicher verlust ex. III/KG26." I guess Angebi is an abbreviation, but I don't know of which word. But it seems to me that this is about a similar loss for III./KG 26 ?

Can someone confirm from a KTB or another wartime source that the attack off Andoya Island this day was launched by III./KG 26 ?

Maybe a III./KG 26 crew was using a II./KG 26 aircraft, or a II./KG 26 crew joined a formation of III./KG 26, and so the same loss will be registered by two units. But AFAIK these two groups did not share the same base at the time.
