Re: He111 3./KuFlGr.806 lost 20/3/40
3./KüFlGr 806 Heinkel He111J-1. Engine damaged by AA fire during attack on fishing vessels and ditched off the Dutch coast north-west of the Waddeneilanden 4.50 p.m. BO Lt zur See Helmut Obermann, and BF Oberfw Alfred Hubrich injured, FF Fw Hermann Kasch, and BM Uffz Robert Mehnert unhurt, rescued from dinghy by motor-cutter Vier Gebroeders and landed at IJmuiden next day. Aircraft M7+EL 100% write-off.
This crew was deemed ‘ship-wrecked mariners’ and later repatriated to Germany.
