Thanks Uschi, nothing wrong with your English, perfectly understandable.
So Gunther Fahrholz was born in Danzig, have you any information regarding his loss?

Best regs,
Steve.

Can anybody else provide info on these four losses?

I had information given that for 7/KG55, G1+MR, and G1+KR were lost this day, but flown by whom?
Perhaps " Experten " like Remi or Jim P could possibly help?

Best regs,
Steve.

Good evening Norbert,
May i offer my utmost thanks to you, for providing the information regarding the losses of 22.6.41.
I am very very grateful, this ties up the scant information i have, enormously.
Very best regs,
Steve.

[Pawel Burchard]

Norbert, does this come from NVM? If you have nothing against it I'd attach the information in relevant part of III./55 KTB.

regards,
Pawel Burchard

[Norbert Schuchbauer]

The information is from the loss reports of the Bundesarchiv Freiburg. Genst.GenQu.6.Abt. I have no objection to your request.

Regards,

Norbert

[Pawel Burchard]

Thanks Norbert. Interesting that the crew Lt. Raschka is listed as MIA on 23-Jun-1941, not 22.

Pawel

Evening Norbert

Your list is slightly at odds with the book Kampfgeschwader 55 Greif by Wolfgang Dierich.
While he does not list any WNr and codes he lists some lost and wounded crews on other dates than you. Why??

Crew of Friedrich Raschka is on the 23rd
Crew of Alfred Gründer is on the 27th

He also adds that an individual named Karl Kappel was wounded on the 22nd by fighters.

He also it at odds against some of your spellings
Leonard Neidel and not Leonard Heidel
Karl Stander and not Karl Stauder
Michael Pichlmeier and not Michael Pichelmeier
Alfred Parpleis and not Alfred Parplüs

Comments anyone? Norbert??

Cheers
Stig
