About JG 27 mid air collision / 27 July 1944

Hi,

Please, it seems that JG 27 lost 1 or 2 a/c during a mid air collision.
Probably on 27 July 1944 over Normandy.
Who could confirm me this information ?
If so, can we know the a/c and pilots involved ? the area ?
Thank you very much

Hi,

There was a collision but it isn't certain if it was with another Me or with an enemy plane. Lt. Hans Hetzler - 11./JG 27 (IV. Gruppe) lost his life when his Me.109G-6 hit the ground east of Granville.
e-greetz,

Dirk
