Enigmatic He111 6N+IL from 3./KG100

Hello friends,

The book "Kampfgeschwader 100 Wiking" by Ulf Balke on pages 144-154 contains a nice story from memories of Lt Gerhard Puklitsch. He111 6N+IL from 3./KG100 during the raid against Saratow at night 13/14.Jun.1943 was damaged by AA fire and forced landed in the deep Russian rear.

The crew - Hptm Helmut Fritzsche (FF, Staka), Lt Gerhard Puklitsch (BO), Obfw Schwarz (BF), Uffz Streicher (BS) - was evacuated at night 15/16.Jun by He111 6N+MH from 1./KG100.

A nice story, but 100-% loss of 6N+IL is absent in GQM returns.

Whether there is the documentary evidence of that event?

Best regards,
Andrey
