Re: I./KG 77 Ju 88 losses Tunesia 15 January 1943
Good afternoon,
some small additions/corrections:
> WNr 140462 (Oblt. Betke)
aircraft code was: 3Z+FL
> WNr 140419 3Z+HN (Ofw. Winkler)
aircraft code was: 3Z+NH (not ..+HN)
Plane and crew belonged to 1./KG 77.
> WNr 141035 3Z+KK (Uffz. Jäckel)
aircraft code was: 3Z+EK (not ..+KK)
Name of pilot was: Uffz. Kurt Jecke (not ... Jäckel)
> WNr 140453 3Z+JL (Uffz. Witter)
aircraft code: 3Z+IL (in NVM: "India Lima" ... not "Juliett Lima")
> Only Ofw. Kirsch of 3/KG77 returned in 3Z+FL, which suffered damage and wounded crew.
aircraft '3Z+FL' was flown this day by Oblt. Betke crew (140462), see first entry.
The injury of Ofw. Kirsch is - as far as i know - only documented in the secondary source book: Shores, Ring & Hess: Fighters Over Tunisia, s.154.
Since there is not entry in the NVM for Ofw. Kirsch, his injury must have been very lightly.
My source for all losses: NVM I.KG 77.
Regards, Uwe K.
