He 111
 

He 111 Werknummer 162376 AI+HL crashed on 3/1-45. Can anyone tell me the dash number of that V-1 carrying He 111.

Re: He 111
 

I have H-16. Code was A1+HL (3./KG 53).

NVMs make no note of what they were carrying

Yoy are right in that Chris.
But what else were they carrying on Feindflug to England?

Re: He 111
 

A question for the experts. From which Fliegerhorst was 3./KG 53 operating on the night of 3-4/1-1945 ?
Leck ?

Re: He 111
 

Soren-Not usre about your response but all they were carrying was a V1 and either Leck or Husum

Hi Chris
See PM

Re: He 111
 

According to some sources the following are the airfields the elements of KG53 were based at :-
Varrelbusch 1 St.
Ahlhorn 2 St.
Vechta 3 St.
Bad Zwischenahn 4 St.
Jever 5 St.
Wittmund 6 St.
Leck 7 St.
Schleswig 8 St.
Eggebek 9 St.

In addition airfields at Handorf, Hespepe and Husum were also used. The only unit that I have confirmation for on 3/4-1-45 is 6/53 flying from Wittmund. The same source has 6/53 operating out of Hespepe on 4 occasions in November and returning from the mission on the 12th.Dec to Bad Zwisschenahn.
