Re: Ar 234 W.Nr. 140154 Reason for loss?

Hi Jaap,

From the War Diary, III./KG 76:

… Shallow dive attack on the city of Liege …

Defences: Strong medium flak was observed coming from the ground. Thunderbolts [sic] operated in 4-6 aircraft patrols in the target area. On one occasion an unsuccessful [my emphasis] gun attack was observed …

Losses: Lieutenant Frank in F1+DT crash-landed near Teuge in Holland. Pilot uninjured.

Hi Nick,

According to the War Diary, the take-off times of 10:14 -10:25 hrs. and landing 11:22 -11:48 hrs are those of the morning of 24 Dec. 44.

Those given for the morning of 25 Dec. 44 are 08:25-08:48 and 09.17-09:48. The translator must have added an hour?


best regards,

Jim
