Your EKM-number is of Müller.

Cannot find any Neumann of ZG 1 or ZG 2.

Interesting details

First of all I wonder in which combat Lindemann/Jentsch perished.
The loss is not listed in Shores Fledgling Eagles and of course not in Cornwell's BoF then and now since Sylt is basically on the Danish doorstep and more or less the opposite direction of where the other two aircraft went down.

Secondly I wonder which staffel Müller/Penkert belonged. Cornwell says 2./ZG 2 and here he is listed in 3./ZG 2

If Peter reads this, can you please advise from where you got the name Neumann? Shores states Penkert and so does Matti.

PS:I see that Larry also gives 2./ZG 2 for Müller/Penkert.
