2/Kü.Ausklä.Gr.606 loss on 18 Jul 1940

[Black6]

I presume I dont have the right books because I cant find any details of an aircraft of 2/Küsten.Aufklärungsgruppe 606 which crash landed and burned on 18 Jul 40 possibly c. 1200 hours near Rabenkirchen an der Schlei.

Uffz (FF) Robert-August Johann Moede (73712/19), born 3 Jul 1915 at Gross-Leistikow, Naugard. Killed.
Uffz Heinrich-Jakob Rudolph (73712/28), born 26 Jan 1915 at Wallstadt, Mannheim (death certificate confirms air crash) Killed.

Please can anybody confirm aircraft type and other crewmen ?
thank you Peter

Peter -

25 Oct 39: in the comprehensive reorganization order for the entire Küstenflieger arm of this date 2.(F)/Kü.Fl.Gr. 606 was incorporated into 2.(F)/Kü.Fl.Gr. 906 and ceased to exist.

I checked 2.(F)/906 also and there was no loss reported on 18 Jul 40.

Thanks Larry, I was quoting from 1940/41 era WASt cards, presumably the outdated unit references had been repeated, although I think from memory in most places it was given as Küsten Aufklärungs Staffel

Thank you very much Matti, I really did not expect a JU52 !

I didnt find them on the Denkmalproject page either
