Re: Do18 2/606 crashed 6 September 1939
Bas,
There were two losses on September 3, 1939, that I currently have listed as follows:
2./KüFlGr.106 Dornier Do18G-1. Ditched in sea north of Terschelling due to onboard explosion. BO Oberlt zur See Hans Wilde injured, FF Fw Hermann Hahn, Fw[ ]Willi, and Uffz[ ]Niesgodka all unhurt. Aircraft M2+GK 20% damaged but repairable – taxied to Borkum next day.
2./KüFlGr. 106 Dornier Do18G-1. Crashed at Baltrum, cause not stated. FF Uffz Friedrich Römermann, BO Oberlt zur See Georg Müßig, BF Uffz Martin Schubert, and BM Uffz Ludwig Utzmeier all killed. Aircraft M2+JK 100% write-off.
Andrzej,
KTBs of various KüFlGr units survive and are held at BMA Freiburg in the RM118 series, copies also being obtainable from NARA microfilm T1022. There was a TOCH thread detailing them in August 2005. You have to check each of them thoroughly, not just the unit you are interested in, as they often contain details of losses to subordinate or neighbouring units etc. KTBs of the ObdM and FdL East & West are also good sources held by the same archives.
