Hans 'Phips' Philipp (1917-1943) was a great german ace of Luftwaffe. He got Wound Badge in black (Wound Badge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia). My question is: for what he got it and where?

Black Wound badge ( Black, Silver and Gold awards with Black being for the least severity wounds received) I know it. But I am interesting for the PLACE and SKIRMISH, for which Philipp got their black wound badge. Any news about?
Depending on how important it is you might like to organize his personal file - I did a search on the internet but didn't come up with more than Tom so internet seems to be rather fruitless.

Right, his personal file was created by me in russian part of Wikipedia. I need information about his wound to update Philipp's reward reasons.

You'd get the Verwundetenabzeichen schwarz (black) for 1-2 woundings, silver for 3-4 and gold for more than 4 woundings. Severe woundings could count more, i.e. a step could be skipped. More info here (in German).
