23 april 1940 KG54
RA,
Many thanks for your reply ! The name of Flg Franz Guenter was also mentioned, but found his name also as a crewmember of a He111 which crashed on 17/05/1940. The pilot of the plane was Fw Paul Lenz. No other details are known to me. Best regards Luc

Re: 23 april 1940 KG54
It seems that there was a loss on 23.april for KG54 we know it indirectly,
because from the ltn.Kiefer 4.KG54 returned from Schw.gefangenschaft nd it's related to a loss occured on 23.april...but it could be that he returned on 23rd from a loss occured on 21st/ 2 losses are documented on 21. with forced landing on Gotland. rt
