KG 100 Augustus 1944
 

Hello to all

I am looking for information on the KG 100 during Augustus 1944
Are they using Fritz-X special bomb during the invasion of South-France ?
Also I am looking for their losses between the 15th and the time the unit was disbanded (the 20th )

Many thanks in advance

Phil

Ulf Balkes book on KG 100 covers this as well. For 15th Aug he shows a Do 217 of 7/100 as ditched following being hit by ships AA crew rescued by Spanish fishermen, Do 217 6N+AS crew missing, and Do 217 6N+GT crew baled out. Target for all three aircraft is given as shipping off St. Raphael using Hs 293s with no further crew losses after this. Hope this helps and ties in with Nick's site,

Hello Brian

If I follow well, there were three losses of Do-217 of the KG 100 that day

The WNr-6429 6N+AS 7./KG 100 Ofw Freiberg Rudolf (INT) ditched and crew interned
The WNr-4733 6N+GT 9./KG 100 Ofw Blab Rudolf (MIA)

And another one abandoned by the crew ?

Do you have the names of Freiberg’s crew ? and the third one ?

Hello Brian

Don’t worried it was clear enough but I have disparate information on that day and I want gathered them , I have get an information that Blab’s A/C was the WNr-4733 6N+GT and was the missing crew but it seems that following your data’s it was rather the 6N+AS
Many thanks for your help as from Nick .

Hello to all

I am back with this old thread, Did someone had the NVLM for the KG 100 that day?

Best regards

Hi Flupke,

if you interested by KG100 Fritz X operations against the allies you can have a look at that story :

http://aerocherche.fr/index.php/arti...ond-du-gouffre

we found the remains of two Do217 of KG100 that crashed on 15 June 1944 in the Pyrenees, after a raid to Normandy against the allies boats.

I am available if you want more info on these aircraft.

Hi Phil,

Or have a glance on the last Jean-Louis' book... but you won't find inside the NVM.
