Re: Ju87 loss over Biggin Hill on February 5th, 1941
Ju 87B-1 WNr.5225, coded J9+BK, lost 5.Feb. 1941
Crew of Ltn. Ernst Schimmelpfennig & Bf Ogefr. Hans Kaden of 7./St.G. 1 were both KIA in Luftkampf with Spitfires from 92 Sq. (S/L Kent), near Manston.
This machine belonged to 8./St.G. 1 (the III/St.G. 1 had continued using Staffel indicators associated with a I Gruppe: H, K, L; the II/St.G. 1, which used the "6G" continued to use Staffel indicators that 'should' belong to a III Gruppe: R, S, T for their 4., 5. 6. Staffeln. Confused yet?).
