Both shown as pilots on GQM , while VDK shows Alfred Drossel born 13.01.1913 buried Trondheim-Havstein . There are two entries for Gerhard Klesa both with the same birth and death dates 17-11-20 and 14-04-42 one shows born Stassfurt Halle missing 30 km south of Bergen buried Salla Russia , while the entry with less details shows buried Trondheim- Havstein
