Re: Dornier 17Z lost 5.10.40 1/KG2.
Hello Steve,

according to Balke page 183 the Uffz Laub crew took off on 4 Oct 1940 around 9 p.m. So the correct crash date is 5 Oct 1940.
In the primary source Gen.Qu. loss return (8 Oct 1940, item 14) is listed:
5.10. 1./KG 2 Feindflug, Ort: Krefeld, Ursache: Absturz infolge Verorientierung (Besatzung abgesprungen). Do 17 Z-2 Werk-Nr. 1202, U5+GH 100%, Besatzung unverletzt.
1st correction 11 Oct 1940: Füge hinzu: 3 Verletzte.
2nd correction 13 Oct 1940: Berichtige Werk-Nr. in 1212.

Regards
Leo
