Re: KGr100 He 111H down in a snowstorm on lake in Norway
Hello,
I should have done a little more research before I posted that query. This is obviously the H-2, 6N+NH, of Hptm. Artur von Casimir, of Stab KGr100, that force landed on Lake Jonsvatnet near Trondheim on 20.4.40, and which was salvaged from the lake in the recent past with all markings pretty well intact. Excellent color photos exist of the salvage on the "Luftwaffe wrecks Norway" website.
If anyone has contact with the owner of those color photos, I'd appreciate being put in contact with him. Another photo of this aircraft sinking through the ice can be found in Karl Ries' book "Dora-Kurfürst und rote 13," Vol. 4, P.87.
If anyone else has photos or information on this loss, I'd appreciate hearing from them.
Thanx,
