Re: Bomber Losses 11 Aug 43
Hi all,
These two claims were night claims. Details from an original KTB held in private hands, I've had the opportunity to take these details from the original document, all these wil be published in the 2nd edition of the NJWD), the first Abschuss concerns the loss of a 115 Squadron Lancaster that broke up in the air and crashed near Maidstone at 04.30 hrs, I've no matching loss to the second 'Stirling' claim:
Fw. Johann Trenke: 1 16./KG2 Stirling British coast, Pl.Q. 02/00716: 2.800 m. 04.25 115 Sqn Lancaster DS665
Lt. Hermann Walther: 1 16./KG2 Stirling Pl.Q. 0134: 3.000 m. 04.36 unidentified
Cheers, Theo
