Re: Photo of the plate of He 111H-6 WNr 4222 (1./KG27) and location which somewhat contradicts the entry in Gen.Qu.6.Abt. loss return
Andrey,
Do you happen to know at which height the bombing took place? I suppose that possibly at low or medium level. I do ask that because Gilles Collaveri (a friend who is a member of this board too) is investigating a Ju 88 C that crashed some 300 km away from the place where the crew abandoned it...so the plane, possibly on the auto-pilot and trimmed, flew alone until its fuel finished and the machine crashed (or the auto-pilot was disingaged due to excess of banking or other kind of actions). So, depending of the height that the bombing you are investigating took place, a long flight on auto-pilot could not be discarded. The other possibility, as some have already found is that the Gen.Qu.6.Abt. losses messed up the werknummer (maybe a typo by some Beamter, far far away from the actual combat Front).
Humbly yours,
A.
