Re: Which Kampfgeschwader hit Bircham on 21.08.40

Andy,

The late Heinrich Weiss documents an attack on Bircham Newton at 08.55 hours (CET) on 21 August 1940 by 9 Fliegerdivision involving a solo Ju88 of II./KG4. The crew dropped 4 x SC-250s and reported two hits on accommodation blocks (married quarters) and another between parked single-engined aircraft - several Albacores of No.826 Squadron being damaged.
