GQM dated 29-12-1943 page 4 has the loss to fighter action of a He 111 H at Civita- Castellana on 3-12-43 giving the unit as RestKommando KGr.z.b.V. 25 , crew details :-

Ff Fw Karl Schmidt + dob 1-6-18
Bf Uffz Walter Bretthauer + born 1920
Bm Gef Georg Hanchen + Umlaut over 'a' dob 21-3-23
Bs Ofw Heinz Seemann + dob 11-6-15

The Grabesuche site gives the date of death of these airmen as 3-12-1943 with all being buried at Pomezia in separate graves. A previous thread said 8 passengers were also all killed in the crash. Are any more details known about the fighter action and the unit , I thought KGr.z.b.v.25 was not operational at this time ,

Thanks
