Hi,

On 19th August 1944, we have the following loss:

5/KG2.
Junkers Ju188E (260324). Night sortie to England. Shot down by RAF Mosquito night fighter of 85 Squadron and crashed at Golding's Farm, Ivychurch, Kent, 1.30am.
Fw. Helmut Richter, killed
Oblt. Albert Hein, killed
Uffz. Johannes Köhler, killed
Uffz. W. Haberland, captured

Can anyone help with the crew positions and 1st names for the 2 captured?

Thank you Matti for the other crew categories, much appreciated.
I have no idea why I typed August, it is as you and Chris pointed out, 19th April 1944. Must be a sign of me getting old
