I need help with two He111Hs FL during the Scandinavian Campaign
 

Hello,

1) Does anyone have any info on this He111H-3, a/c code unknown, that I believe made a forced-landing or had a gear collapse in the Stavanger area of Norway during the spring or summer of 1940? The W.Nr. was probably 5615, and it was assigned to either I or II./KG26.

2) Does anyone have an date/place/crew info on He111H 1H+KP that made a force landing in Norway during the same period. This was not the same a/c as above. I have a photo of an He111H in the EoE DB with this code not force-landed, with the W.Nr.4471, but I don't know if these are the same a/c or not.

Regards,

Larry.

In this thread I have posted a picture of 1H +KP at what I think is Stavanger airport.
Have unfortunately no more additional information at this point.

Later loss -
He 111H-3, 5615, Franke, Oblt. Friedrich, , , , Nachtfluglehrgang 1, , , , , 30-Jan-43, Crew killed in crash., , Lw.Kdo.Don/Osten, BA-MA Signatur RL 2 III/774, Flzg.Unfälle bei Schulen und usw., p.127; BA-MA Signatur RL 2 III/783, Flzg.Unfälle bei Schulen und usw., p.413, , Fl.Pl. Poltawa, 100%, H, B Fw. Herbert Laux, Bf Uffz. Karl Wilke & Bm Gefr. Heinrich Bockhorn, ,

Later loss - I don't have any specific loss for this machine, but it would have been an He 111H-6. This WNr. block doesn't appear in losses until after 1940.

Hi Larry, since this thread last aired August 2012 have you been able to establish the identity of W.Nr 5615?

It would appear KG26 were allocated a large batch of these
Heinkel 111H-3's within the W.Nr 56** series possibly from late 1939.
Would anybody happen to know anything regarding possible Stkz, or allocation dates.

Best regs,
Steve.

Evening Jim, thanks for responding.
Yes i have the Baltabol flugbuchs myself and im afraid im quite dubious to the accuracy of some of these W.Nr batches and Stkz codes.

I would really welcome any news on the allocation of Heinkel111's to KG26 during the early part of the war, alas i dont think any information will be forthcoming. Would be nice to confirm W.Nr 5615's identity.

Kindest regs,
Steve.
