Jim written in hand with the original entry in GQM on 10-1-42 is Fw August ? inj. Looking foward to the amendment dated 14-3-42 it has (in type) Stfw. August Herber Bm wounded 9/KG27 5-1-42. Does the Waiss book have any mention of him, the original GQM entry makes him appear part of the same crew as Schluttenhofer,
