Re: Vannes-Meucon Airfield, France / July 1944 / Do-217 III./KG 100?
From my book:
Two Do 217s were claimed by Mosquitoes that night. The first by Sqn Ldr Dean Somerville of 410 Sqn who claimed a Do 217 six mile north-west of Pontorson which crashed vertically into the ground at 2255 hrs. Then at 2305 hrs, Flt Lt Allen Browne of 488 Sqn claimed a Do 217 which crashed four miles east of Avranches at 2305 hrs. 8./KG 100 recorded losing two Do 217M-11s flown by Uffz August Stolzenberg and Deutsches Kreuz in Gold winner Ofw Konrad Doser, the latter aircraft crashing north of Vannes. The dates of death of the three crew killed from this aircraft were recorded as being 2, 3 and 4 August 1944!
