Oblt. Harry Arndt + 08.06.1940 St.G 51
 

Hi Guys,

Does anyone have any further information regarding this loss? I believe that Arndt was killed by soldiers trying to evade capture. I have no details regarding the fate of his radio operator or indeed his name. I am searching for the aircraft details and the name of Arndt's Radio/Op. Can anyone help me further?

Kind regards,

Melvin

Hello ,

Did this happened near Neuville in Belgium ?

At this date, there was no more battles in Belgium. The German forces were attacking on the Somme river and more south to finish France.

Sadly Neuville is a very common name in France, so there are several possible places near the frontline for this date.
