Oblt Münz, KG 27
This officer led a Kette of He 111s to attack Warmwell at midday on 1 Apr 41. His name does not figure in any RK, DKiG or Ehrenpokal list so does anyone have any more information on him or his fate?

Re: Oblt Münz, KG 27
A search of our files reveals nothing that fits the requirements, but a check of the Kracker Archives reveals a possible fellow:
Münz,Oblt. KG-27 (3/41)He 111P Bomber Operational Clasp, Attacked British airfields on the southern coast, destroying 24 on the ground, on 2 April, 1941. A good dredging through the Waiss books might come up with more about this fellow or about another Munz. Beyond that, I'm out of ideas. DGS

Re: Oblt Münz, KG 27
Thanks both. The attack was the day before and this came from the OKW Bericht dated 2 Apr 41. He was successful but appears to have not been decorated hence my assumption he did not last. I will have to consult the Waiss book in some detail

Re: Oblt Münz, KG 27
Thanks-the second would fit the bill and explains why he gets no official decoration for what he did
