Re: He111P-2 W.Nr 1731 lost 7.9.40 III/KG55
Hi Stig many thanks for your reply.
I don't have issue 11 of the BoB combat archive but I would think this is the most up to date analysis of Luftwaffe losses for this period.
Their naming of Ofw.Wickel is wrong though, most certainly is Bernhard Hickel a long serving pilot with KG55 and can be found easily if you look at losses from the French Campaign and on 13.5.40 when he was involved in the loss of He111P-2 G1+HS at Vendresse, France.
I tend to agree that the two losses are indeed one, but the aircraft and Hickel are from 8/KG55 and Witte may have been with the StabIII/KG55 and filled in as a crew replacement.?
Perhaps Matti Salonen as clues to the location or Ekm No's for units?
Best regs,
Steve.
