Question about KG 4 loss on 12.2.1943
Hello all!
I have a question about a loss of KG 4 on 12.02.1943 southwest of OREL.
Maybe someone have informations about the type of plane and the Stammkenzeichen?
I may be a Heinkel 177, because i have photos and a lot of fieldpost letters of a crewmember who died in this crash.
The Crew was:
Pilot: Uffz Karl Heinz Fedrowitz ID Nr.: 214651/42
Radio Operator: Obergefreiter Leonhardt Koppold (survived ! ) 55538/112
Gunner1 : Uffz Rudolf Dröttboom 214651/28
Gunner2 : Gefreiter Willi Holzhauser 214651/59
Observer : Uffz Hans Wilhelm Schneidewind 214651/100
In the attachment you will find the official letter from the squadron leader to the father and a letter of the radio operator from 1948 after his return from Russian POW Camp. So in this fact the letter of the squadron leader is wrong, the radio operator has survived!
