Hello Matti,

Thanks for these exact Informations. I think the second plane was lost at the 24.10.44 and not 24.12.44, please take a look again. What means your saurce NVM ?? I think this plane was under the command of Kdo.Schumm (6./K.G. 6), than only parts of this Staffel participated at the Räumung von Kreta and Rhodos.

Hello Remi,

About the los you refear of He 111 H 20 (1G+BM), I have the 01.10.44 as follows:
01.10.44 4./KG 27 FF. Herbert Mittrach (+), He 111 H 20 (1G+BM , W.Nr. 701243) 100% Notwasserung 20 km nördlich Iraklion bei der Räumung von Kreta

Hi, Byron and all

NVM means Namentliche Verlustmeldung, which is a document issued by the unit when there was either:

- a member of a unit wounded
- a member of a unit killed
- a member of a unit missing

See example for the cover page of one such document

Hi, guys.

Would the summary loss record for the units be of interest for this period?

What units would you like me to cover?

I think Matti has the correct date for 701673. II./K.G.4 did not report a loss for 24th October 1944, but they did report an aircraft missing on 24.12.1944 (reported in the GenQu loss list of January 12th 1945)
