Re: Fw Karl Ranft 6/KG53 15.8.40

Steve,

According the the revised EoE Luft Loss DB: "August 15, 1940: 6./KG53 Heinkel He111H-2. Ditched in the Channel off Dover following fighter attack 6.30 p.m. BM Fw Karl Ranft killed, HS Gefr Walter Holzwarth missing, BF Gefr Josef Koll rescued slightly wounded in face - treated at first-aid station in Boulogne, rest of crew rescued unhurt. Aircraft 100% write-off.
The body of Karl Ranft was washed ashore at Boulogne two days later."

Regards,
