From what I have, Matti's information is mostly correct, but the WNr. he reports is in conflict with other sources. WNr. 530323 shows up twice in later loss reports. In 'Die Jagdfliegerverbande....' from Dr. Prien & his team, the WNr. is listed as WNr. 530393. So far, there is no conflict with that WNr. from other sources.
