Re: He 111 A1+HN from 5./KG 53
Steve,
My loss lists are subject to regular revision/refinement as fresh information emerges from on-going research. The entry you request currently stands as follows:
5./KG53 Heinkel He111H. Shot down by Hurricanes of No.87 Squadron following attack on Romilly 12.05 p.m. and possibly that claimed by P/O David. Crashed at ‘Belle Croix’ between Chaumont and Remoiville, south-west of Hompré. BF Fw Alfred Hinze and HS Gefr Theodor Kappe both killed, BO Oberlt Herbert Mosbach baled out - evaded capture reaching German lines two days later, FF Oberlt Willy Partl baled out - attempted to evade but captured unhurt, BM Uffz Otto Simon baled out and captured wounded – both later released. Aircraft 100% write-off.
