Am back Chris (wife was using PC for a home office meeting).
Thanks for sharing the full crew of Hptm Kürzel.

Am digging out slowly onto them.

Chris

I have unfortunately another record of "2154" aircraft as follows
9K+xA Stab/KG 51 force landed 22.3.1943 at FlPl Bobruisk, Russia due to engine trouble (30% dam)

I have a suspicion "my" details may belong to 142154 and not 088.2154.

Do you (or anyone else) have an opinion on this?

Cheers
Stig

Hptm Otto Meichsner?

[Adriano Baumgartner]

Chris, guess you matched Otto Meischner, from 9./KG 3....who apparently served in May 1942 with IV Gruppe KG 3..

Thanks for that one!

On "De Zeng" LW Officers list there is a Hauptmann Friedrich-Wilhelm Clemens (born in 1915)....this may be the guy informed...

I did not matched the name of the Oberleutnant who was also shot down and MIA/KIA...

[Adriano Baumgartner]

ANYONE knows WHO was the Adjutant of IV Gruppe of KG 3 circa May 1942?

He seems to be an Oberleutnant and Flugzeugführer (can see his FF-Abzeichen)....sadly NO NAME informed.
