Re: Staka 3./ZG 26 (again)

Leo,

In checking our EoE LW Loss DB, this doesn't match up with the incident ascribed to Kiel UH+BH.

What we have in the DB:
"18 August 1940: 1./ZG26 Messerschmitt Bf110C-4. Crashed on landing at Clairmarais damaged in combat with fighters during bomber escort sortie over southern England. FF Lt Joachim Koepsell and BF Uffz Johann Schmidt unhurt. Aircraft U8+BH 10% damaged - repairable."

Since we have the Koepsell FB, I'm pretty sure that the earlier attribution of this to Kiel is not correct. Will have to check on this further.
