Re: [Study] November 23, 1939 : Luftwaffe losses / crash sites over France (I need your help !)
Hello,
I have also a doubt with this plane :
3.(F)/121 Heinkel He111H-2. Badly damaged in attack by Sgt R. Delarue of GC III/7 during factory test flight over the frontier. Chase abandoned over Belgium but finally crashed at Dielkirchen, south of Bad Kreuznach, 9.45 a.m. FF Oberfw Helmuth Gräber, BF Gefr Armin May, BM Oberprüfer Otto Schulz, and Fähnrich Johannes Schulz all killed. (None found in VDK) Aircraft 100% write-off.
In the diaries from the 5th escadrille from the GC III/7 this incident occured the 22 novembre. The plane intercepted by Delarue was very far from the german french frontier as the start of the fight begun near Vitry le François and the plane was lost of sight flying close from the ground near Saint Dizier.
Regards.
RB
