Oblt Münz, KG 27
 

This officer led a Kette of He 111s to attack Warmwell at midday on 1 Apr 41. His name does not figure in any RK, DKiG or Ehrenpokal list so does anyone have any more information on him or his fate?

Sorry, I only have the same info,
Münz, Oblt KG-27 (3/41) He 111P Bomber Operational Clasp Attacked British airfields on the southern coast, destroying 24 on the ground, on 2 April, 1941.

A search of our files reveals nothing that fits the requirements, but a check of the Kracker Archives reveals a possible fellow:

Münz,Oblt. KG-27 (3/41)He 111P Bomber Operational Clasp, Attacked British airfields on the southern coast, destroying 24 on the ground, on 2 April, 1941.

A good dredging through the Waiss books might come up with more about this fellow or about another Munz.

Beyond that, I'm out of ideas.

Thanks both. The attack was the day before and this came from the OKW Bericht dated 2 Apr 41. He was successful but appears to have not been decorated hence my assumption he did not last. I will have to consult the Waiss book in some detail

Better is to ask to Walther, very cooperative indeed

Thanks-the second would fit the bill and explains why he gets no official decoration for what he did
