Re: 2/123 Loss 29 Apr 42
I am not sure whether his name is Karl or Kurt Rohrbach, but i agree with John Beaman, that he was killed on this date.
Best wishes Christian

Re: 2/123 Loss 29 Apr 42
It was Kurt Rohrbach and checking again, on 2 Nov 43 (!) it was reported that he had been killed and Wohlrab POW; confirmed in a German report dated 12 Dec 43
