Re: Loss of Blitz He 111?
Chris, based on the WNr. from your initial post, the 2./KG 4 WNr. 3795 is the best fit. The observer (B), Oblt. Hermann Haase, from that loss was from 6./KG 26, at least according to Steenbeck, Die Spur des Löwen, p.336. Sorry, I didn't even notice that he was from the same unit as WNr. 3785 which was lost in Feb-41, also in the Med.
