Translating a Luftgau Kommando XI form

[beachcomber]

I wonder if there is anyone out there who could translate this form for me, the headers and the comments. The font is difficult to read and same for the hand writing. From what I understand this is a claim report from a flak battery for the night of 24/25th September 1942 around Viborg Denmark
Attachment 10917


Sorry that's the best quality I have of the form - Thanks in advance

@ beachcomber,

some parts are hard to decipher but i'll give it a try

"SW Viborg near Groedborg - 1.22 - Avro Lancaster (rest?) - Nightfighter - 5 dead - Jütland - Grove - RLM (rest?)

Hillekrog b. Seeland (?) - 04.00 - Avro Lancaster (rest?) - Flak (F. Gr. VIII) + M. A. - tot - Seeland - can not be recovered - (?)"

Best Regards
Norbert

Edited

P.S.: M. A. possibly means "Marine Artillerie" (just a guess).

It's "Laaland" (not Seeland) - the former name from Lolland.

From what I understand is this is a report of the action over Viborg and Gronhoj 2 aircraft from 61 squardron Lancaster R5679 which crashed at Gronhoj and Lancaster R5724 which made it back to the UK and the entire crew where awarded the DFM. My principle interest is R5679 and snippets of information I can gather from the form will help to paint a fuller picture of what happened.

Thank you for all you help - Mike
