[Pawel Burchard]

Stig, Dierich's book must be treated with caution regarding names spelling especially in the section dealing with losses.

Also (according to KTB) Gründer was wounded on 22th and missing on 27th June.

Sorry I was too quick and mixed things up Strictly, there is no mention of Gründer being wounded on 22th in KTB, only that his machine was s/d by friendly Flak and that crew survived. On 27th Gründer's a/c was s/d by Russian Flak by Lwow and the crew was MIA. Two parachutes were seen, one on fire.

[Norbert Schuchbauer]

The only thing I can say that my information is straight from the microfiche of the Bundesarchiv. I have no knowledge where Dierich got his information from. The data I presented includes corrections that were made to the original reports and I included this.
