Re: Do17 of II/KG3 shot down 10 July 1940
Hi Brian,
Cannot be sure if this was the aircraft engaged by No.92 Squadron on 10 July 1940 but it certainly went into the drink. Crew as follows: Ff: Oberlt Hilmar BOTT (death confirmed 13.3.42), Beob: Lt Friedrich-Karl Schroder, Bf: Oberfw Franz PUK (still recorded as 'missing' in 1960 DRK Suchdienst Vermisstenbildliste LH374), HSch: Gefr Edi FRENZ (washed ashore, but when & where not in my notes).
I note that Bartley records this event as being 15 July 1940 in his autobio which opens up other possibilities, maybe.
