Re: 5/ZG76 Me 110 loss 4th Oct 1943
Hello RT!
Many thanks for getting in touch regarding the aircraft details of Lt. Hans Metzen, it is very much appreciated. The details I have regarding this loss originally came from the WASt report, info added to a written database of the II Gruppe ZG76, from this comes the 5th Staffel. The information came from a fellow researcher in Germany. Also the crash location I have is Simmerath, which is not too far from Lammersdorf I must apologize for my spelling error, some of the handwritten info is hard to read. If you are interested I can send you a scanned portrait photo of Hans Metzen.
A little additional information regarding the Metzen family. Hans had an identical twin brother, also a pilot in the Luftwaffe. Sadly, Fhj-Feldwebel Jakob Metzen was killed in action on the 14.02.1945 at Manze (Poland?) whilst serving with Gren. Rgt. 1238. If anyone out there knows which Luftwaffe unit he served with, I would be extremely interested.
Kind regards,
Melvin.
