Re: Loss of Halifax NA568 LK-Q 11 Sep 44

Good evening Mal !

There are atleast two entries of British bomber crashes in the Luftgaukommando files known tracing to the crash in Kirchhellen that day.
-file # KU 2967 reports: 11 Sep 44 1836 Halifax 499 m NE. airfield Kirchhellen, 8 km SW. Dorsten
-file # KU 2996 reports: 11 Sep 44 1838 Kirchhellen, 6 km NW Gladbeck

On my opinion, both reports cover one event, since the rest of the crew baled out and was probably wide-spread captured and so different responsibilities gave there report another file-number.

You can order this reports in the U.S. National Archives.

All the best !
