He 114 loss in Holtenau on 10 April 1941
 

Hello, the liss of Luftwaffe losses in the north available on the internet shows that the He 114 A-2 WNr 2750 was destroyed (80% damage) in an accident (take-off or landing) at Holtenau seaplane base, Germany, on 10 April 1941. They were no casualty.

Sadly no unit is given by this source. It was probably a school/rear area unit. Can someone check the unit of this aircraft ?

Thanks in advance

Laurent

According to my notes this aircraft was at the time of the accident attached to Transportstaffel (See) Kiel-Holtenau. The W.Nr. was not 2750 but 2570, a He 114B aircraft. The location of the accident is also given as Tönning.

Thanks,

2750 was my typo, I also have WNr as 2570.

"The location of the accident is also given as Tönning." -> do you mean you have two possible crash location for this aircraft, Holtenau and Tönning ?

I have Tönning only.

OK, given you have more details than me, I think your crash location is the good one and in my source the unit and the crash location get mixed.

Thanks again
