Re: He111P-2 W.Nr 1731 lost 7.9.40 III/KG55
This a mystery also to me. Bernhard Hickel had an EM issued by III./KG 55 and Wolfgang Witte an EM issued by Stabsstaffel/KG 55. So, no help.

The locations I have are quite near to each other. Witte's He 111 "10 km südlich L'Aigle, 42 km westlich Nonancourt" and Hickel's "Breteuil 25 km südwestlich Evreux". Again problematic, because I don't know, if the locations are crash locations or the locations of parachute jumps. Another degree of difficulty comes from the fact that there is also another Breteuil in France, 15 km westlich Montdidier, which is far from Witte's crash.

I would leave these losses open until more info is found.

Matti
