JG 106 or FFS A/B 23
Hello !
Noon of the 3. January 1945 3 Arado Ar 96 were attacked by
6 P-51`s near Gutenzell / Upperswabia.
The Arado`s were started from airfield Baltringen.
All of the Arado`s were shoot down.
1. Lt. Erich Peiker KIA
2. Lt. Helmut Neuhaus KIA
The third Arado made a forced landing. Ofw. Heinrich Pfeffer and
Lt. Ludwig Grossberger were killed after leaving their Arado on ground.
I have found different informations concerning the unit of these Arado`s.
1./JG 106 or FFS A/B 23? Both is possible!!!
Can somebody enlighten me?
One P-51 was shoot down by friendly fire during these attacks.
Are these loss details correct?
Captain John Coonan POW
W-Nr. 33-14358
55. Fighter Group/38. Fighter Squadron
Thank you in advance!
Herzliche Grüsse aus Oberschwaben,
Wolfgang
