Could you please specify, in case you have any details, if Ofw. Gerritzen and Ofw. Johann Geritzer lost 26.05.1942 on 9K+BK, is the same person?

Rene,

Thank you. As I see he has never returned to Germany. He was captured on May 26, 1942.

I have no hints that he was captured by the Russians. If that so, I think he died in captivity .

Jim,

In Soviet documents there is no trace of w.n. for Gerritzen's Ju-88. The plane was hit by Flak and set on fire. Gerritzen managed to bail out, others perished.
