Re: He 111 loss 22nd August 1944 France
NVM for 8/KG53 shows 'Crail Frankreich 22.8.1044 after crashlanding on Flugplatz Crail, by Ruckmarsch to base at Le Bourget vermisst' Ff Uffz. Franz Lechner, B Ogef. Josef Zielger. Bf Uffz. Walter Hunlich Bs Gef Albert Sames all missing.
For S3+AH ' Flzg He 111 w.n. 701475 Crail/Frankr. 22-8-1944 .Crashed Flugauftrag: Versorgung dch Abwurfbeh. f. eingeschl. Truppe. cause Fighter attack' FF Fw. Manfred Bittner, Bw Fw Heinz Fritsch, Bd
Fw Franz Kordys wounded.
Following on from a previous thread on Crew abbreviations I assume Bw is Bordwart (Bm), and Bd is Borddienst indicating a Air-gunner who has not had the full training of a Bs. Any correction/information appreciated,
Regards
