It is my understanding that Major Paul Semrau (46 victories, RK-EL), Geschwaderkommodore of NJG 2, was shot down and killed with his crew in Ju 88 G-6 (W.Nr. 620 562) over Coesfeld by F/Lt KS Sleep of 402 Sqn, RCAF. He was flying Spitfire XIVE (RM862) "K" when he claimed his victory at 8:35. I hope this helps.
