Re: I.(F)/120 loss 7-02-1945
Both aircraft lost over the Norwegian Sea due to still unknown reason and took off from airfield Vaernes in Central-Norway. This day Lufttorpedogruppe II./KG26 prepared for an attack on the Arctic Convoy JW54 in the Norwegian Sea but failed to located. Most probably both aircraft were part of the operation and was to search for the convoy too. Note that both aircraft had ealier been in use by Aufklärungsstaffel 1.(F)/AGr22 in North-Finland and North.Norway. Ofw. Bartetzko, Hptm Eiler and Fw. Klein were a very experienced crew that had all earlier served with Aufklärungsstaffel 1.(F)/AGr 124 in North-Norway.
Greetings from Norway
