ID of He111H-3 WNr3234 Poss 1./KG100
 

Hello,

I'm trying to identify the crash in France, probably during 1940, of a He111H-3 WNr. 3234. This is probably an a/c of 1./KG 100. Does anyone have any info on this He111 W.Nr.?

Thanks,

Doesn't match with any of the known KGr 100 losses 1940-41. Any more details?

Hi Chris,

Yes, this a/c is probably 6N+HH of 1./KG100. A handwriteen note on the back of one of the two wreck photos says Nantes (France) on 19.8.40. There were three KG100 a/c lost that day, two of which are potential candidates for this loss, which was pretty badly smashed, but with tail intact. No Staffel, codes or WNr reported on any of the three losses, however.

I still owe you some I./ZG 76 scans, which I'll try and send to you this weekend.

Regards,

Can you send me scans? I have photos of the remains of a He 111 of KGr 100 on the beach but this was 15 Aug 40

Hi Chris, the Heinkel 111 you mention on the beach 15.8.40 was i believe from 3/KGr 100. Can you offer any further information on this loss. Is it possible to id this a/c from your photo?

Best Regs,
Steve.

Steve: It is definitely 15 Aug 40 (matches with Ken wakefield's book and very poor photo). There are 3 shots taken from the left and right side of the cockpit and showing the aircraft in the distance. All that you can see for certain is the KGr 100 badge both sides of the nose

Thanks for that Chris, No unit codes visible i take it?
