Re: Lufttorpedostaffel ?/1KG26 shipping claims
I have been looking at this thread again and searching for new information to clarify who was actually lost in the attack on the Cape Corso.
From a Russian source who was on board the "Krasin" ice breaker he says that two torpedos hit the Corso.
He 111 H-6, Wk Nr 4950
Crew:
Uffz. Paul Hofalski (F) MIA
Oblt. Kurt Jauer (B) MIA
Uffz. Karl Wagner (Bf) MIA
Uffz. Gustav von Rambow (Bs) MIA
was shot down on the attack on "Botovan" but I cannot find any other losses for Lftwaffe a/c on this day.
My new question then would be : Is there any way of identifying which crews were involved on the attacks of 2/3 May 1942 on PQ15?
Did the Luftwaffe have the equivalent of the RAF ORB?
These would suggest the pilot who believed he had sunk the Cape Corso.
