(In French, sorry ...)
So, i have difficulty to found details about the Wk nummer, and the code ...
And for moment if i have found exact location for the 111 z crash, but i'm allways searching for Gothas on place..
And i found nothing, not serious details about the german troops in the 2 Gliders, nomber ? Dead or injurieds ?
Thanks by advance, Dan

Hi.


The only way You can find out more on this is to contact the WASt (or people that have access from data from the WASt).

The unit was I./Luftlandegeschwader 2, which lost (as You have noted) one He 111 and two Go 242 on this date to enemy action.

As far as I can see from my data, one of the Go 242 crew from this unit was killed in action, while three were wounded, thus You should get further info regarding this as a so-called Namentliche Verlustemeldung should exist for these crew members.

I do not have information with regards to what happened to the crew of the He 111Z.

Regards,
Andreas Brekken

Good Evening
Thanks your interest an your answer, Andréas,
I'm afraid that will not be easy for me to have access to theses datas...
Perhaps nombrous person's are dead in the Gothas or just crew, i don't know
I hope obtain additionnals infos, but the 111 z Take all attention from witness,
nobody remember that's happening to the gliders ...
I need continue to seek...
Best regards, Dan
