Re: ID of He111 crashed & Burned with "C" on the rudder
Interesting that you should ask this question now Larry - just started reading Wakefield's book on KGr. 100. He states early that they carried the individual aircraft code on the tail - and sure enough from my loss date I have:
28-May-40, , He 111H-2, 1418?, Ebert, Fw. Kurt, 2., KGr. 100, , 6N+CK, , KIA due to Flak over Rombakken during sortie to Narvik. Notlandung. FlSch also KIA, Bf & Bm WIA, POW., Bf Uffz. Georg Ring, Bm Uffz. Wilhelm Korte & FlSch Gefr. Otto Mädl, WNr. dup with later losses. Recovered??, X.Fl.Korps/Norwegen, Gen.Qu.6.Abt. (mfm #1)-Vol.2; Shores, Fledgling Eagles. p.334; Balke, KG 100, p.364; Norwegian Aircraft Wreck site, Kongsbakktind bei Ankenes, 100%, F. Could this be the machine?
