Re: 5./KG 1 Forced Landing, Russia 2nd August 1942

Hello Craig,

sorry that I have misread the function of Fw Koltermann. In the Gen.Qu. loss report he is listed as B (= Beobachter), not F (= Flugzeugführer).
In the Gen.Qu. loss reports the usual abbreviations for the functions of the crew members were
F = Flugzeugführer
B = Beobachter
Bf = Bordfunker
Bs = Bordschütze
Bm = Bordmechaniker.

In other publications we find
FF = Flugzeugführer
BO = Beobachter
BF = Bordfunker
BS = Bordschütze
BM = Bordmechaniker.

Regards
Leo
