Fi 156 lost near Saint-Marcel (16 June 1944)

Good morning to all.

Just finished a mervellous book about the French SAS in WW2, which inform that a certain Leutnant Wilhelm Gebbhardt, former Ju 87 Stuka pilot on Eastern Front, who lost both legs, was shot down on a Fieseler Fi 156 Storch, by the SAS over Saint-Marcel, on the morning of 16th June 1944.

Apparently he took off from RENNES (it is mentioned that he was a member of the Aufklarungsgruppe 11 ?? - 11ème Groupe de Reconaissance) and was shot by a Bren gun (near the Abbaye of Trébiguen) over the Chateu de Sainte-Geneviève. The Fi 156 crashed near Saint-Gyomard and burned in fire.
The pilot survived and was found by German forces.

Is it possible to find the Fi 156 serial and codes?
When was Lt. Wilhelm Gebbhardt shot down previously in Russia?

Thanks for clarifying that information from the book

Adriano B.
