Re: Hauptmann Fritz E. Krause, NJG 11?
Just so it's said, we're talking Fw190s from I./JG 11, not just 1. Staffel. And whether the remaining Fw's actually stayed in Denmark it does not say. Here are the paragraphs:
"Also landed at Aalborg-West were parts of I. (GrKdr Hptm Leonhard) and III./JG11 (GrKdr Hptm Kutscha), making a total of 11 Fw 190A-8s. Both groups left Leck between 0630hr and 0700hr with at least 20 machines for Kristiansand in Norway. They were due to refuel at Vejle, but only a few found it. By 0830 several had returned to Leck, and the above-mentioned 11 had diverted to Aalborg-West. Once refuelled the latter, led by Hptm Kutscha, tried again to reach Kristiandsand, but were forced by the bad weather over the Skagerarak to break off and return to Aalborg-West. In the event, just one Schwarm (Flight) of I./JG11 succeeded in reaching Kristansand from Vejle."
Scanning as we speak, folks. Let me know in PM if you're interested.
