Another III/JG 54 western front victory
For those interested in the subject of III/JG 54 in the west, I started a thread on the subject a long time ago. Here's another one from my database to re-ignite interest in the subject:
6.3.44/1449hrs, 7/JG 54's Lt. Eugen-Ludwig Zweigart claimed a B-17 at 500m altitude over Reinsehlen. It seems very likely this was finishing off the B-17G-10-BO 42-31240/F "Shack Job" of 561st BG, 388th BG. 2/Lt. John W McLaughlin and crew all POW (crew had baled out after earlier fighter attack took out the controls). Zweigart achieved an "eV" (endgultige vernichtung) in other words... |
Re: Another III/JG 54 western front victory
yes, thanks for the additional data. This was his 2nd that day working from this listing
http://www.cieldegloire.com/jg_054i.php on the luftwaffe.cz page he's given three (unless I've mis-read it..) BTW "Le Cambeaux" for the location of his 'shoot-down' on 8 June is a typo or a mis-reading...he came down at Les Champeaux, 10 km south-west of Vimoutiers ( cf. Frappé, p238) |
