Re: Looking for photos/info on 3.(F)/122 He111H-2, F6+NL down in Sweden 03.06.40

Hello,

This answered my question about the unit insignia. I interpret all six photos now on the website as indicating that this a/c carried no unit insignia on the nose.

We carry this in the Revised EoE Luft DB: "June 3, 1940: 3.(F)/122 Heinkel He111H-2 (5575). Lost bearings due to instrument failure following reconnaissance sortie to Lofoten, strayed across the border, and belly-landed near Gäddede in neutral Sweden 5.30 a.m. Lt Günther Wentz, Insp Kr [ ] Klanke, and rest of crew all unhurt – interned but repatriated 12 July. Aircraft F6+NL 100% write-off."

Apparently we still need the names, ranks and crew positions for the members of this crew. Does anyone know when and how the a/c was repatriated to Germany?

How can help?

Regards,
