Re: Werner Hensgen I./ZG 1/15./KG 40

A possibility is that with the long Luftwaffe claim verification process, this claim made in March 1943 was approvided after the renaming of V./KG 40 in I./ZG 1 in fall 1943, and so the kill was attached to I./ZG 1.

Chris Goss in the book "Bloody Biscay" show on this date a Liberator claimed by Lt Ulrich Hanshen of 15./KG 40 in PlQ 14W/2586 at 1420 hrs (and identifies it as a transport Liberator of 511 Sqn RAF (6 crew and 13 passengers MIA))
