Mr Morrison thank you very much for the name of Uffz Karl Becker that i didnt have, are the other 2 missing airmen names not known.
Wouldnt the NVM have these names listed as missing in action?

Hi all

Loss-report says 8/KG 4, but this unit was around 19. Oct. 1940 renamed in III./KG 30.
It is possible, the loss report was wrong and was in fact 8./KG 30 ?
Does anybody know the real date of renaming this unit ?

best wishes
JoMe

JoMe, ive been looking at this also, i too would like some confirmation if possible.

Rgs,
Steve.

[Peter Cornwell]

On or about 12-13 October 1940 I believe.

[steve sheridan]

Thank you very much Peter.
Could you help with my query regarding the loss on the 8.8.40 a little lower down these very pages from 9/KG4.

Kindest regs,
Steve.

If I had anything to contribute I would have done so. No NVM obtained from WASt in relation to that particular loss. Sorry.
