Re: He111 WNr4531 or 4581, mot.No 17541 3/4.Apr.1944

Hi!

It is seldom I can be of help, but this seems to be case now.

Luftflotte 1 Luftlagemeldungen for early 1944 survive among the Heeresgruppe Nord material up to 29 April 1944 in form way.

Could find my digiphoto copy (of the microfilms) and from there:

Luftlagemeldung 4./5.4.44 (nachts)

"Nachteinsatz der Kampfflugzeuge: 8
4 Flgzge. Eisenbahnkämpfung, Angriff auf Bahnhof Luga, 2 Brände (Öl)
4 " Eisenbahnkämpfung Strecke Leningrad-Tschudowo-Bologoje, 20 Wagen nichtet (Öl oder Benzin) 2 mittlere Explozionen mit Brand
."

No reported losses, no "Nachmeldung" for the night 4./5.4 in later reports.

I would say 14.(Eis)/KG 55.


Edit
I looked through whole April. The only He 111 loss recorded in the Meldungen is for night 10./11.4.44.

Interestingly for 3.4.44 (tags) there is recorded one Me 110 loss. Would WNr 4531 make any sense with that?

Cheers,
Kari
