Problem with a Ju 88 loss, Malta Feb.27. 1942

Good evening.
I am having troubles with a loss on the above date.
I simply cannot read the letters in the GQM list. Here is what i have....

Ju 88 A-4, Wnr. 1578 and the code M? + DK
I believe it is a Kfl.Gr.
I have the names of the crew

Does anyone know the missing letter/number?

Thanks in advance

Christian

Hello Khorat!
Thank you very much for Your help.
I have a deathcard from one of the crewmembers where it says
Feb.27. but i have seen before that these cards not always have the right date, so i couldn´t tell for sure.
In the GQM list it also says that they were downed by Flak, so it was quite a surprise to see, they were shot down by a british fighter.

Best wishes

Christian
