Seeking crew details of this aircraft destroyed Svervo, w.n. looks like 5385(6?) crew includes Bm Uffz. Heinz Gelze inj. Details on GQM hard to read on this one,

Thanks

Hi

The correct spelling must be Swerewo (Zverevo).

I have a note in my entry for WNr. 5385 that it appears that it may be a duplicate with the loss for WNr. 3144 with F Fw. Heinz Haup on the same day and circumstances.

Jim, this is what I have from GQM dated 21-1-43 page 17 loss for 5385 as confirmed by Matti BM Uffz. Heinrich Golze w and Bs Emil Hoppenheidt +. Above this there is a handwritten entry which looks like Fw. ? ? w. the typed entry below 5385 has the loss of 7584 of KGrzbV102 on the 14th Jan with crew Ff Fw Lerberg, Bf Fw Gryesjkm and Bs Uffz Engelfried inj., between the two entries are two furher handwritten names Obgef. ? and Ogef K--p inj. It is not clear which aircraft the handwritten names pertain to,
GQM dated 7-2-43 page 3 then has the loss of 3144 with Ff Heinz Haup, B Uffz Paul Leist both inj. and Bf Paul Kasprewitz +, the correction sheet of the 8th then has Ff Heinz Haupt and the other two.
I cannot find anything further to identify the three handwritten names or any change to the werk nummers, but my copies in the period are often hard to read,
