Re: Seeking ID of Crashed Bf110 "B" during WC, Belgium or France

Evgeny,

Hello to you and thanx. I hope you aren't freezing to death in the "Polar North." I should have recognized these photos as I have the crew grave and other copies of these in the photo DB. You are absolutely correct in this identification.

According to the Revised EoE LW Loss DB:
"22 May 1940 Western Front Amend: 1./ZG1 Messerschmitt Bf110C. Shot down by fighters 7km south-east of Lille and crashed alongside the road to Roubaix at Lesquin. FF Uffz Heinz Walter and BF Obergefr Georg Rothenberger both killed. Aircraft 2N+DH 100% write-off. (Vasco)."

Some EoE researchers that the underwing code us a "B" instead of "D," so that might have to be changed.

Regards,
