Re: Pictures from my Grandfather 1.(F)123 Norway 1942 ff

One of the pilots Losse flew with was Lt. Schütze, see entries 13., 18, and 23. September 1941. This pilot was Rudolf Schütze that flew mostly He 111´s with Wettekette Nord (1940) and Westa Luftflotte 5 afterwards, then with Westa 6 in Banak, and crashing in Arado Ar 232 near Banak. He made many pioneering flights, including first Luftwaffe He 111 recce flight over Reykjavík City (Iceland) in November 1940. His incredible flight story is told in full in book "Wetterflieger in der Arktis 1940-1944" by Werner Schwerdtfeger and Franz Selinger. Motorbuch Verlag 1982, German text, ISBN 3-87943-854-4

Thanks again,
Best regards, Ed
