Re: Lw losses in Polish Campaign
 

There was no second Hs 126 of 2.(H)/21 lost on this day. Next loss occurred on 2.9.39 in other area.

Re: Lw losses in Polish Campaign
 

Hello Robert,

I know that:
1) 3 Hs.126 from 2.(H)/21 were under command of GAK I
2) in the "Erinnerungen an den Feldzug gegen Polen im Jahre 1939" on 3 IX one can find information that from the reconnaissance platoon of GAK I only 1 plane is available
3) on 1 IX Polish soldiers found in Wejherowo wreckage of the plane with 2 dead bodies inside

Based on this information I have assumed (of course this might be wrong!) that the plane which crashes on 1 IX in Wejherowo was Hs.126 from 2.(H)/21.
If I am wrong please explain why on 3 IX GAK I had only one available Hs.126 and what plane was found on 1 IX by Polish soldiers.

And I have all personal losses of this unit and I know that your assumption is wrong. And even if this document is reliable this plane could be just damaged e.g. in taxying accident and thus not available for some time.

Regards

Thank you - I do agree that the plane might be just damaged or in small repairs but in that case the question of the wreckage with the two dead bodies still remains.


Have a nice day,
Andrzej
