Hello Steve. This info is found in deZeng and Stankey's Luftwaffe Officers' Career Summaries for Michael HERMANN -

05.07.43 Hptm. and Staka 8./KG 1 KIA – in Ju88 A-14 (V4+AS) shot down by ground fire vicinity Malo Archangelsk while attacking targets S of Orel and bailed out. Advancing troops found the crew murdered. [Version 2 is that the bombload detonated due to a direct AA hit.] Crew buried at Ssaborowka, 70 km S of Orel.

That doesn't necessarily mean your man was part of the crew at that time.

Hi
I have been informed by my source that my guy was on this aircraft and has been missing with the rest of his crew.
He sent me a letter he got from the geschwader association in 1995 .. when he researched the crew.
