Re: Gen.Mjr.Wolf Von Stutterheim KG77

Here is what I have (at present):

5./KG77 Dornier Do17Z. Engaged by nine Moranes of GC II/2 between Bayon and Lunéville during sortie to attack columns between Épinal and Thaon-les-Vosges, and belly-landed 30 km north-west of Neufchâteau 3.15 p.m. FF Fw Josef Schweiger and BO Gefr Leonhardt Hopf both captured wounded, BM Fw Karl Zimmer and BF Uffz Jakob Anschau both captured unhurt – all later released. Aircraft 100% write-off.
On vacating the aircraft this crew was fired upon by French troops and two of them wounded, they were all roughly treated after capture.

Stab KG77 Dornier Do17Z. Shot down by Capt Huvet, Lt Durod, Adj Lachaux, and Sgt Quéguiner of GC II/5 during reconnaissance sortie south of Nancy and also hit by AA fire over Bricon. Crashed and exploded in forest near Braux-le-Châtel, west of Chaumont, 8.00 a.m. BO Oberlt Herbert Reuter, FF Fw Karl Dreier, and BM Uffz Anton Tix all killed, BF Fw Hugo Golombek believed baled out and captured unhurt – later released. Aircraft 100% write-off.

Steve, you will find all this information and much more besides in my book The Battle of France Then & Now published by After The Battle in 2008.
