FB Entry
Hi all,
This is an entry from a FB from April 1943. I can read the following: Auftrag: Flak und K.F.Z. bei ??????. Bomben im Ziel Brände wurde beobachtet. Beladung: 4xSC250 The place that was attacked is a mystery to me. Can anyone tell me what place in Tunesia it is? https://zbtpqw.bn.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none Thanks in advance, Rudi |

Re: FB Entry
I thought it started with an F but can not make out what it could be......what was the unit?

Re: FB Entry
It started with an J, compare with the F of Flak.

Re: FB Entry
The second letter is an r and the third looks like it's an n or an e so it should be something like Jrnaga or Jreaga. Can't find anything on either of these.

Re: FB Entry
I had a look in the KG54 book by Radtke and couldn't find a match..
What is the exact date of this flight? /Ian |
Re: FB Entry
Could the "J" be substituted for an "I", as the Germans sometimes did?
|
Re: FB Entry
Rudi as this is a FB extract is the date not given , the KG 54 book Ian mentions contains targets by date so should be easy to find with the date . Is the missing location the target could it read Flak over the front line zone by ?????? then bombed on target ?

(In the morning & the evening: attacks in the area south of Kairouan + maritime reconnaissance in the triangle Tunis, Sardinia & Pantelleria) The KG 54 loss list in that book gives Uffz Müller lost at sea in the Kairouan area in his Ju 88 B3-BH that day. The same Leistungsbuch where this extract is coming from gives in the morning the following flight: "Ziele bei Fonduk " (Targets near Fonduk) Quote:

Re: FB Entry
It's the flight log Heilmann? There is given a target as "Triaga" (and "Treaga" or "Freaga" isn't so far from "Triaga")... it's 34° 58' N, 10° 22' E. It fits because around this dates were some attacks against targets on the route Sbeitla - Sfax.

Re: FB Entry
Yes, it's Heilmann's Leistungsbuch and think you are spot on with Triaga, Rasmussen.
Thanks very much for your help, everybody. It's very much appreciated. |
Re: FB Entry
It would be nice to get all the information right next time, and not bit by bit over a long period. It greatly simplifies the search for everyone! With the informations (like unit, time frame, places and so on) that - unfortunately - was only mentioned at the end, the whole thing took 30 minutes!

Re: FB Entry
I'll keep that in mind next time. Once again thanks for your help. Very much appreciated.
