Re: Hauptmann Hugo Frey, 7./JG11, died 6.3.44
Hi Yogybar,
4 B17's seems high considering the amount of ammo. usually needed to bring one down. Going back to the 'Target Berlin' book the loss lists shows 'Suzy Sagritz' 388th BG. crashing at Oud Schoonebeek possibly falling to Hpt. Frey. B17 'Blitzin Bessy' was shot down by a fighter around 1450hrs. crashing at S. of Klaxienaveen as it went down it hit B17 42-40054, both aircraft of 388th.BG, which crashed near Coevorden. Additionally B17 'Flakstop' of the 452BG. fell to fighters near Staphorst around 1450 hrs.
I do not know if Frey was responsible or credited after his death with the loss of any of these B17's, I have no knowledge to be able to comment on this. There is the possiblity that some of his may have been credits for 'Forced from Formation' rather than shot down but once again I have no further info.
Regards
Brian Bines
