Re: Bf109F lost 15 October 1941

Dear Andreas,
gentlemen,

I have to come back to the losses of 5. (Eins.)/JFS 5 on October 15th, 1941, especially to the loss of Elmar Resch as it is recorded in his flight log.

Looking at it now, it is apparent that I have made a mistake in our loss list as the flight log contains the following information:

Flight no. x35, 7th Feindflug for Resch, Bf 109 F, ( white ) 7, scramble, Octeville at 13.16 hrs., contact with enemy, taken to parachute at 13.30 hrs. near Harfleur.

This of course means that you are right stating that Resch was flying Bf 109 F-2, WerkNr. 12 691, on that day and it also leads to the fact that this a/c was marked "white 7".

Sorry for causing you some extra work, the mistake was entirely on my side.

Regards

Jochen Prien
