eBay He 111 KG100 loss 29/02/42 ?

On ebay here is photo of a crashed Heinkel He 111. The seller provides extensive details, claiming that the aircraft crashed near Schwerin on 29/02/42, belonged to 10./KG 100, and had a crew of:
FF. Ofw Walter Sturhan,
FF Uffz. Rudolf Vyziblo,
Bo Uffz. Hermann Schünemann,
BF Uffz. Emil Lesch,
BS Ofgr. Josef Käfer.

I would assume that the code should be 6N+CU. However the last letter does not look like a U to me. Can anyone confirm/add more details on this crash?

Cheers
Ian

Thanks Matti, that appears to confirm that its 10./KG100, but still not convinced that the final letter is a U.
