Re: loss 61 Sqn Lancaster W5000 2-3 August 1943
Hello together,
I have dealt with the losses of 03.08.1943 without any other opinions.
In an process of elemination three crashsites were left.
Hatzte - County Rotenburg / Wuemme - Halifax
2 km east Niendorf - County Stade - unknown aircraft
3 km west Apensen - County Stade - Halifax
I can´t find any aircraft wich match Hatzte and Apensen. And I´m not sure that W5000 crashed between Niendorf and Deansen.
There is a handwritten note on one Luftgau-paper which states that 2 km west of Deansen a Halifax crashed with five "Engländer" (english People) killed, two badly wounded, one slightly wounded. So probably a eight men crew. The crassite which Tony discriped is approx. 2 km west of Deansen.
Kind Regards
Jens-Michael
