Bonjour,
As I am searching to identify and to study German bomber units which bombed area of he city of Châteauroux (Central France) on 19 June 1940, I found this good piece of archive. On 20 June 1940, French fighters shot down a Henshel HS 126 from 4 (H) / 22 killing the aircrew. The plane went down near Châteauroux . My questions are for this Werk plaque an eyewitness very kindly gave me : 1- What was the Stamm ? 4 N + AM (??) 2- What was the Wr.nr 3365 ( ??) 3- Where did this plaque fixe ? Around one of the landing gear ? 4- Were was built this a/c ? 5- And, sorry “cerise sur le gateau “ (please, what is the English sentence for that situation ?) a photo showing that plane … Thank you so much. Philippe ps : I hope to obtain a better photo for the identification of green/gray color. |

May I ask why you connect WNr 3365 and STKZ 4N+AM with the aircraft that crashed 20 June 1940? Cheers Stig |

Stig,
Long time ago I wrote to a French researcher Mr. Jean-Pierre Niclot, about somme JG 2 crashes. In return he sent me all the listing. So I phoned him to thank him. During our discussion we spoke about this Hs 126: and he gave me this Wrn. . He helped me so much that I was upset to ask him another assistance ... I have the same feeling with that forum : I ask often and help few. I am sorry. He died (date ?) and I think his archives/researches were given to the Archives de l'Armée de l'Air in Vincennes.

Thanks Philippe
Obviously something from French files. Don't believe Luftwaffe kept any track of their WNr at this point, oddly enough... Cheers Stig |

Seems they did, in the docs released by TSAMO, time to time some Wn are ...released !
