Re: Mylius KG55 Greif - HELP -

Hi Martin,

Luft. Qm's returns issued on 30-9-41 has the following He111H-6 G1+AC II/KG55 missing on 22-9-41 Ff Ltn Gustav Weyer, B Oblt Wilhelm Mylius, Bf Fw Franz Fischer ( hard to make out the surname the KG55 history by Wolfgag Dierich has Schiffer ) Bm Uffz Werner Schmidhelm, Bs Ogef Max Giedau (Dierich has Bledau ). Someone might be able to confirm surnames of the Bf and Bs. The Dierich book, published in German, pages 203 to 218 covers the nine day march back to German lines of the crew,

Regards

Brian Bines
