Many thanks to you Michael for clearing these two up for me.
I beleive Fw Christian Neuenhofer was the Bo in 5J+KS W.Nr 3883 this day, but despite this ditching, wouldnt be so fortunate perishing in 5J+CS on the 6/7.7.41 off Sheerness!

Best regs,

Michael i wonder if you could perhaps provide clues to one more loss from KG4, or indeed anybody else.

27.2.41 He111 lost possibly from Stab/KG4 crewed by Oblt Georg Wiebe,
Ofw Hlubek, Ofw Blank. during night raid. This is all the info i have.
Any help would be most grateful.

Steve.
