Re: He 111 from KGr. 100 - 14 August 1940
Hello,
I have a further problem with another 1./KGr100 He111H wreck. Two photos of it badly crashed in a planted farm field show the fuselage code as 6N+HH. It also has the W.Nr.3234 on the rudder. I believe that the location was marked as at Nantes, which could be the original crash site, or a salvage dump to which the wreckage was removed.
We presently have in the EoE DB this entry for 19 August:
"19 August 1940: 1./KGr.100 Heinkel He111H-3. Crash-landed at Vertou, 20 km east of Nantes, due to petrol failure on return from night sortie to Derby. FF Lt Albrecht Zetzsche injured, HB Uffz Otto Bollmann badly injured - both admitted to hospital in Nantes, BF Uffz [ ] Friedrich and BM Fw Heinz Bitter both slightly injured. Aircraft 6N+AH 80% damaged - write-off."
I'm wondering if this could be a coding error for 6N+HH? Nick's website entry for 19 August doesn't cover this loss.
Does anyone have any information that would help resolve this?
