Re: Crashed He111 9./KG53
Hi Thomas, it is quite possible that the Heinkels of Kampfgruppe 100 were used to supplement losses of other KG units during 1940.
A quick look at my known W.Nr lists for both units have failed to show any pattern or matches, though thats not to be treated as gospel!
I also noticed a distinct lack of Gruppen-Abzeichen on the particular side shown on the photograph, and may support the theory that this particular a/c may have only been recently delivered from another unit, although this is conjecture, and without more information or evidence we may never know!
Best regs,
Steve.
