Re: Me. 110 damaged in operation Weserübung (The attack on Vaerloese airfield, Denmark)

Hi Larry.

Can you please enlighnening me on "EOE DB" and "(Bf)" in your post abowe? What's the full text?

and

as the attacking aircrafts came from Gruppenstab and 1./ZG1, approx. 10 to 12 machines.

As always, there seems to be difficulties finding the exact details regarding the attack and the reported things that happened.

1) The 1st. Wolfgang Falck, 1./ZG1, 2N+AB (Bf110C-1) Returned to Barth on one engine (The left engine stopped after being hit by ground fire, Falck assumed he was wounded).

2) The 2nd. Bf110 emergency landing near Skejby/Aarhus, ?./ZG1, 2N+HH (Bf110C-1) Flew on to Aalborg after repair (Some sources said the machine was repaired by help of local people and the Danish Army, and via Falck by sourcing a replacement engine from Aalborg).

3) The 3rd., 1./ZG1, 2N+?? (Bf110C-1) Returned to Barth with a wounded rear gunner, (Bf) Uffz Arthur Schön, pilot unhurt (Aircraft 10% damaged - repairable).

Assuming that all Messerschmitt Bf110 aircraft belonging to Stab. and 1./ZG1 was the Bf110C-1 model!

Any indication to the codes on the replacement aircraft that Falck requested for his flight to Aalborg?


Regards

Orla
