Information concerning loss of Uffz. Heinrich Sedlak - 01.07.1941

[Jim P.]

The Do 17 loss was for 10-May-40 - the crew was likely released at some point during the French campaign.

Per the Gen.Qu. for the 2-Jul-42 report the WNr. was 4232 and crew maybe returned. Per Matti's information, that was not the case. WNr. 4223 was damaged with III./KG 77 in Mar-41. WNr. 4232 was reported damaged with 2./KG 77 on 31-Aug-41. His NLV info should supersede the GQM data.
