Re: Request: Downed He 111
Chuck/Matti,
In trying to research this in the EoE LW Loss DB, I found the nearest KG55 loss as:
18 December 1939: "Stab KG55 Heinkel He111P-2. Crashed in fog and burned out near Mainburg. One crewman killed, two others badly injured and burned. Aircraft G1+GA 100% write-off."
Matti, do you have any further info on the fatality and injured crewmen?
Chuck, great photos!
Confirming Matti's info, the loss DB holding for 21 December 1939:
"3.(F)/121 Heinkel He111H-2. Stalled and crashed at Spöck, north-east of Karlsruhe during reconnaissance flight, exact cause unknown. (FF) Uffz Kurt Keller and (BM) Obergefr Ewald Otto killed, another crewman injured. Aircraft 100% write-off."
