Re: eBay: He111 5J+KM crashphoto and Logbook enty
It is possible but not sure that the photo of the belly landed He 111 5J+KM matches to the 5J+KM in the logbook of an unknown holder.
But the logbook in connection with the Verlustmeldung oft the Gen.Qu. from January 10, 1942 proves that the He 111 H-6 4611 with Flugzeugführer Fw Finsel at the controls and Flugzeugführer Lt Hüser on board belly landed in Seschtschinskaja caused by anti-aircraft artillery during an operational flight. The damage was 40%.
The German definition of a 40% damage was „Beschädigung, bei der Triebwerke oder Systeme (z. B. Hydraulik) ersetzt werden mußten, konnte vielfach noch bei der Truppe durchgeführt werden“.
Besides these documents prove, that the code 5J+GM in the „Namentliche Verlustmeldung“ is wrong. Or the entry in the logbook is incorrect.
