Re: Rudolf Sigmund - which aircraft?
Hi Peter,
From the Kriegstagebuch Marine Artillerie Abteilung 201
02.10 hrs Bergen aan Zee/Camperduin
A Wellington (sic) passed from direction 2 to 9 (ENE-W) at 100 metres altitude and was engaged by 2./MAA201 with 9 rounds 2 cm Oerlikon and 15 rounds Dutch 12,7 mm. The aircraft returned fire. After the engagement the aircraft caught fire and crsahed into the sea in direction 9 at 3.650 metres distance. The fuel burned untill 03.12 hrs.
Although being claimed by this Flakbattery I believe the Stirling was shot up first by Oblt Sigmund.
What's your particulair interest in this crash?
Regards,
Hans Nauta
