Need help with ID of 9./KG54 a/c FL at Oudekapelle near Diksmuide (Dixmude), Belgium on 2.6.40
 

Hello,

I'm trying to ID some photos of a force-landed He111 that came down at Oudekapelle, Belgium, on 2.6.40. It landed intact and clearly carried the codes B3+?T. The individual code is in yellow and is either a C, G or O. Does anyone have any photos that reveal the individual code letter on this plane? One photo of this a/c can be found on P. 414 of The BoFrT&N BY Cornwell.

Thanx,

Hi Larry,

no pictures on this one I'm afraid. In my notes, I have the following:

He 111 B3+DT
Crew:
Lt Ernst Petzold
Gefr Bernhard Okuniewski
OGefr August Beiersdorf - KIA
Gefr Franz Dreschler - wounded

Unfortunately, I didn't write down where I've got this information from.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Rudi.
