Re: He111 shot down 17 June 1940
Larry,
If you manage to reconcile everything it will be a miracle! They did not even know at the time what was going on.
Stahl of II./KG30 mentions a "JU88 from another Gruppe of KG30 shot down, belching smoke from its port engine". See "The Forgotten Tragedy" by Brian James Crabb. This is most likely von Gravenreuth’s aircraft, which, of course, survived. This would mean that von Gravenreuth probably is not the one who sank the Lancastria, but may have been the near miss which did damage.
It would be nice to know what the 1./KG26 Heinkel He111P-2 was doing when it was engaged.
Thanks for all the input.
Mark
