Lt Gerhard Wiedenhoft
Im looking for a loss report for the following airman.
Lt Gerhard Wiedenhoft failed to return from operations July 1940 with a bomber unit. Could anybody help provide a loss report and perhaps his crew also, if its not to much trouble. Best regs, Steve.

Re: Lt Gerhard Wiedenhoft
Many thanks Matti, since you have provided the unit confirmation, this loss appears in Walter Waiss's " Boelcke-Archive" Band II pg 195 also lists a Wilhelm Schillberg killed with this crew. Do you have any information on this individual?
Rgs, Steve.

Re: Lt Gerhard Wiedenhoft
Thank you Matti for providing the info for Schillberg.
Do i interpret this as shot by pistol, suicide? Best regs, Steve.

Re: Lt Gerhard Wiedenhoft
I think accident (Unfall). Don't know whether he was handling the pistol or some one else. Maybe just cleaning an "empty" weapon.
