Re: Loss Report: Stab/KG2 Do-217E-4 29-30 April 1942

Hi Richard,

According to the Kriegstagebuch Kommando Flughafenbereich 2/III Schiphol-Amsterdam it concerned Wnr 1186 and fuselage code U5+AA.

The crew members were:
FF: Hptm Waldemar Hörner zu Drewer
BO: Uffz Paul Ubrich
BF: Uffz Hermann Schiffer
BF: Uffz Alfred Kawullok (spelling!)

The Dornier was hit in the fuselage bij Ack-Ack and the two crewmembers were mortally hit. However, Ulf Balcke mentions in his work about KG2 that they were hit by a night fighter. I'm not sure what his primary source was.

No indication of the target that night in the KTB, but Blake mentions Norwich.

Hope this is of any use,
Hans
