Re: Luftwaffe Officer Summaries for 2023

A minor update concerning

Josef Bisping:
†13/14.02.45 Hptm., 3./Vers.Verb.OKL KIA - in Ar 234 B-2/N (SM+FE) crash while attempting a night take-off from Havelhausen near Oranienburg. [Version #2: 23.02.45 Hptm., 3./Versuchverband OKL KIA - Ar 234 B-2N crashed following a night take-off from Oranienburg.] Buried at Oranienburg-Lehnitz.

Albert Vogl
13/14.02.45 Hptm., with Versuchverbandes OKL airborne radar operator, KIA – in Ar
234 B-2/N V15 (SM+FE) that crashed near Oranienburg when the airfield lights were abruptly switched off causing the a/c to stall. Buried in Lehnitz

These two entries can be tidied (they were killed in same aircraft).
The date is confirmed as 13.02.45, there are photos off their graves at:

Also, the aircraft was not V15, which was WNr.130025, but WNr.140145. SM+FE is correct.
