Hi,

Not evident !

Were all killed in action in the early morning of that day. Plane crashed into a house near Villers-la-Tour while returning from short range operation bombing against Beauvais.

- Schilling Erich, Hauptmann and CO of the unit, 12 August 1918 Villers la Tours Staaken VI 52/17
- Mock Hermann, Unteroff., 12 August 1918 Villers la Tours Staaken VI 52/17
- Neuhoff Eduard , Unteroff., 12 August 1918 Villers la Tours Staaken VI 52/17
according to some sources and the Deutsche Volksbund Krigsgräberfursorge from RFA 500
- Wilms Karl, Unteroff., 12 August 1918 Villers la Tours Staaken VI 52/17
- Peter Albert, Vizefeldwebel, 12 August 1918 Villers la Tours Staaken VI 52/17
- Maiwald Richard, Helfer, 16 August 1918 Gent DOW or illness

Losses on the 16th September one crew from KG3, however target unknown to me :
+ Lt. von Günther Dietrich an observer from Bosta 15 is KIA at Stalhille (D)
+ Unteroff. Priggen Wilhelm gunner from Bosta 15 was KIA at Stalhille (D)
+ Unteroff. Zeiger Hans pilot Bosta 15 was KIA at Stalhille (D)
(This is the West Flanders area, near Jabbeke aerodrome)

Also from RFA 500 : Lt. Ernst Wohlgemuth an observer was WIA at Beugny (which is in the north of France) and died two days later at Wilna (?)

One crew loss BG4B19 :
Lt. Horst von Olarius (or Olearius ?), observer - Unteroff. Josef Wach, pilot - Sgt. Max Zrocke - gunner at Gonesse (not near Paris at all)

However on neither of these crews I have any info on the missions they were at.

Best from Johan
