Re: Me 110 losses on 7 September 1940 - circumstances
Franek,
First of all, you must understand that a distinction must be made between the 'K' reports and the 'K' summaries.
The 'K' report was an individual file that was raised on a particular incident, most commonly on the interrogation of prisoners.
What was circulated to various Commands were 'K' summaries.
The two are quite separate documents.
As to A2+NH, the research done by Peter Cornwell and myself, the Bf 110 was shot down by F/O Holderness of No. 1 Squadron and P/O Janough of No. 310 Squadron. It was also attacked by F/Lt. Lane of 19 Squadron.
From our book, 'Zerstörer', page 194: "...The pilot, 22 year-old Berliner Leutnant Kurt Schünemann, Gruppe Technical Officer of II./ZG 2. baled out too low for his parachute to fully deploy and was killed. His Bordfunker, Unteroffizier Hans Mescheder, was even less fortunate, for his parachute failed completely and he plunged to his death among some cottages at Cranham..."
Could you explain what CEAR reports are?
Finally, could you also give more details regarding the information contained in the last paragraph?
