With regard to the Luftwaffe Loss records at the IWM, you need to always approach these with a certain amount of caution.

Let me give you a couple of examples:
1. Those records show Ebner & Zwick of 2./Erpr. Gr. 210 as being shot down in S9+DU on 27/9/40. The correct code was S9+DK, which information I received from Ken Wakefield initially decades ago from a document he copied to me.
2. Check out the spelling of the names of the crew show down on 5/10/40 in S9+GH, W. Nr. 3383 in the IWM microfilm records. You will not find the correct spelling of Duensing & Krappatsch.

So I would respectfully suggest that you do not dismiss information in books, as oftentimes that information is far more up-to-date and correct...

THAT is why I suggested you quote your sources for the specific information you request in threads on here. There are many on here who have accessed over the decades the records you mention, and garnered a hell of a lot more information from private sources to supplement those official records. If it's 'boring' for you to quote your sources, then you may find that that will result in less assistance than you may otherwise receive...
