Crashed and shot down : war reporters of Lw KBK 5
Hi to all - Here comes another challenge for sunday:
Taking a look at "Die Wildente , issue 21, from 1959" ("The Wildente" is the bulletin dealing with the former german Propaganda companies - "PK") I found some names related to Luftwaffe Kriegsberichter Kompanie 5 (LWKBK5) who died when shot down or crashed with german aircrafts. Seems the listing covers only the early war period (1940/41), when the LWKBK5 served in north germay (airwar in the North Sea / Denmark / Norway) and afterwards on the Western Front / Battle of Britain up to mid 1941:
Sdf (Z) Heinz Holzapfel (Film) , shot down
Flg. Adolf Tausendfreund (Film/Bild) - crashed
Flg. Hans Alt (Wort) - shot down
Flg. Cornelius Mildenberger (Bild) - shot down
Uffz. Heinrich Martin (Bild) - shot down
Sdf (Z) Emil Weihmüller (Wort) - shot down
About Weihmüller I found in this forum the following information : missing in action 25.11.1940 . On that day there were He115 from 2./KüFlg 506 and Bf110 from 4./ZG76 over England / North Sea.
Heinz Holzapfel is said to have died on 10.9.1940.
Does anybody have information about unit / date / place ?
Any information welcome!
