24th May 1941, Stab StG2.

Hi,
Can anyone confirm the fates of the following crew. Details from the Luftwaffe Loss records say all the crew are missing, but others say they were all captured?

Stab StG2.
Dornier Do17 (1058). Sortie to Heraklion. Crashed in the Med off Crete. Lt. Johann Schweigl (FF), Uffz. Erich Detlow (B), Uffz. Erwin Bittner (Bf) all missing. Aircraft T6+EA lost.

Thank you

Hello Steve,

Gen.Qu. loss return 5 June 1941 item 14: all three missing.
Correction 24 June 1942: Uffz Detlow, Uffz Bittler (divergent spelling) aus der Türkei unverletzt zurück.

Regards
Leo

Hi Leo,
thank you for confirming Detlow and Bittner (Bittler) were interned by Turkey, and later returned.
It also appears that Schweigl was also interned and later returned, as on 05.07.42 in Stab StG2, WIA. And on 24.06.43 Oblt. in II/LG1 (WIA during Allied air attack on Salonika Sedes).

Much appreciated
Steve
