While checking the Luftwaffe Loss Returns for entries related to 3./Störkampfgruppe Luftflotte 4, I came across this loss attributed to 4.(F)/Nacht.
10 Apr 1943 - Ju 88D-1 Wk Nu. 430449 F6+KM lost to Flak over the Kuban - crew recorded as missing. (Lt Horst Dietrich (F), Lt. Kurt Fanst (B), Uffz. Johann Kutner (Bf) and Ofw. Wilhelm Klingenberg).
The unit code implies that this was a 4(F)./122 aircraft either loaned to 4(F)./Nacht or incorrectly recorded in the loss returns. Assuming that the aircraft was on loan, my question is - were the crew also from 4(F)./122 or were they a 4(F)./Nacht crew?
Can anyone help?
