Per the loss report, the crew were B Ogefr. Werner Weigl, Bf Fw. Werner Grabow, Bm Gefr. Kurt Seidel & Bs Uffz. Manfred Gnauck. The Bm was the other fatality.

There are a number of KG 55 KTB available for free download from the BAMA via Invenio site. Have you checked those? They contain a lot of detail on the unit's losses.

(RL 10/130 is the only one I have on this machine currently. This starts with some 1944 losses for II./KG 55. The rest are stashed on a large thumb drive in another room, but the one listed should give you a clue as to where to look.)
