Re: Messerschmitt 110 loss - May 1940, Sercus, France
Andy,
How timely is your note above reviving this issue. Yesterday I acquired the photo collection, some medals and the FB of a 1./ZG52 Bf110 BF, Fw Herbert Altmann, who flew with the unit during the Phoney War and Western Campaign. In the FB, Altmann records initially flying a Bf110, W.Nr. 2889, coded A2+LH, on March 22, 1940. There are subsequent entries with that plane code, and pilot's names are recorded.
Has the identification of the crash of this Bf110 advanced since this post was initially made? You mention photos in your recent post, but I didn't see any with the entry. I don't yet have the FB in hand, only scans from some pages, but I should soon have the full FB and be able to provide more info if it would be helpful. Altmann would not have been a crewman at the time of the crash, as I believe that he survived the campaign, but, if still relevant, this should significantly advance the search for the identity of this aircraft.
I also haven't had time to search for a 1./ZG52 crash during the period that you're looking at, but I'm pretty sure you will ID the crash under that unit.
Regards,
