ZG26 Losses Balkans 6.4.41

[steve sheridan]

Hi, im compiling losses at the moment for ZG26. during the Balkans campaign.
Can anybody provide the usual loss data for 6.4.41 I have pilots listed,
but no a/c id's.

1. Fw. Helmut Recker and Bf unknown.
2. Uffz Adolf Sondermann "
3. Obfw. Willi Messemer "
4. Lt Reinhold Eymers "
5. Oblt Kurt Krebitz "

It appears all these crews were listed as KIA, what details i have found,
come from Shores Air Battle Over Yugoslavia Crete and Greece. A great book, but now sadly a little dated!
Any help gratefully accepted.
Rgs,
Steve.
