For notes on the losses of Oberstltn. Peter Schemmel and Major Herbert Lorch in the Luftwaffe Genst.Gen.Qu.6.Abt. records at the BA/MA see the topic "Wehrmachtsauskunftstelle fur Kriegeverluste und Kriegsgefangene (WASt) - 5" on the "Archives in Germany: General Information" forum.

With regards to Major Herbert Lorch and his demise on 19-August-1942, does anyone by chance have a copy of the NVM that they are able to share at all?

Many thanks in advance.

Regards Richard.
