Re: Does anyone know info on Hauptmann Hajo Hermann, Staffelkapitan of 7/KG30
Jim,
We have these two incidents in the EoE Loss DB as:
10 April 1940: 7./KG4 Heinkel He111P. Landed with full bomb-load on short runway at Oslo-Fornebu and overran the end wrecking the undercarriage and eventually coming to rest off Oksenøyveien. FF Oberlt Hajo Herrmann and rest of crew all unhurt. Aircraft 5J+KR damage state not recorded.
We have four photos of this incident in the EoE Photo DB.
18 October 1940: 7./KG4 Junkers Ju88A-1 (4128). Crashed on dusk take-off from Amsterdam-Schiphol due to burst port tyre. FF Oberlt Hajo Herrmann (Staffelkapitän) fractured lumbar vertebra and concussed, BS Oberfw Helmut Stiefelhagen also badly injured, two other crewmen slightly injured – all admitted to hospital in Amsterdam. Aircraft 5J+AR 80% damaged - write-off.
Note that we have this listed as 18 October rather than 19 October. We have five photos of this FL in the EoE Photo DB, showing the a/c with the new 7 Staffel insignia. These photos were sold on eBay on 17.06.04.
Does anyone know the names, ranks and crew positions of the two slightly injured men on the crew of the 18 October incident?
Regards,
