III./KG 4 'Polandfeldzug' Losses
 

Can anyone please help with the losses incurred in the 'Polandfeldzug' by III./Kampfgeschwader 4 "General Wever".

I understand losses were incurred on 01, 02, 04 & 05-September. Any help with crew and aircraft details will be very well recieved indeed.

Many thanks in advance.

Regards Richard.

Pardon me,
If W.Nr.1465 was lost near Kutno, so it coudn't be lost near Opatow. From the other hand, if W.Nr.1479 was lost near Sandomierz, so it couldn't be lost near Bolowisz. I couldn't find the latter town/city/village in Polish index of geographical names by the way. I suppose this name was distorted somehow, and will try to find out how.
Sandomierz is close to Opatow, so perhaps reports say about the same aircraft. Though I have no idea what is relation between Kutno and "Bolowisz" yet. Reading above posts, I think the data on W.Nr.1465 and W.Nr.1479 were mixed.
Cheers,

"Bolowisz"= bei Lowicz
1479 had been lost 5 km N of Lowicz.
