Thank you Pawel!
Remi, info comes from a mission statement written immediately after the mission by 10.(Kroat.)/KG 3 pilot who flew as a wingman to Lt. Phillip. Both crews were subjected to heavy flak and fighter attack when they separated. Upon returning to base Fw. Andjelko Benkovic learned that Philipp was shot down.
