two Wurmheller claims

Gentlemen,

Josef Wurmheller, then still an Unteroffizier with 5./JG 53, filed two claims in October 1940 that leave a number of questions which I hope to be able to answer with your help.

On October 12th, Wurmheller filed a claim for a Spitfire shot down 60 kms north of Brest at 12.15 hrs.

Four days later, on October 16th, he claimed to have downed a Blenheim at 15.20 hrs northnortheast of the Ile d'Ouessant.

Can aynbody shed some light on these incidents such as the British units involved, their task and - if any losses occured - the identity of the victims ?

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Regards

Jochen Prien
