So not part of crew despite sterbebild naming him as bordschutz

that can be - most of the "Bordwarte" also had a training as airgunner (bomber, etc.),
and during a transfer flight, he was also the airgunner.

I am quite surprised , Mikka, that you named ground personal , the Bordwart, of the type hundreds were lost in action, Bw seems more to be the new name of the Bm, Bordmechaniker
