Fw200 loss
Hi,
I have just been reading 'Hurricats' by Ralph Barker. One of the chapters deals with the Fw200 from KG40. In it he mentions that during the Battle of Britain a number of Fw200s were used for minelaying and bombing missions. On the 19-20 July 1940 two Fw's were lost during minelaying missions on the East coast of England.
By doing a search on the 'net I have found the following info.
A Fw200C from I/KG40 (F8+EH) was shot down by AA and crashed into the North Sea between Hartlepool and Sunderland. The crew consisted of:
Hptm R Stesszyn missing
Fw W Meyer missing
Fw H Kulken POW
Fw K Nicolai POW
Gefr S Zaunig missing
Gefr J Perl missing
Would anyone have details on the second Fw200 that was lost that night? Also anyone know the Werke number of the one mentioned above?
Alex
