Damage Reports KGzbV106

[Tim O.]

Hi all

I am catching up on research and wondered if anyone has further information or damage/injury reports for the following incidents during the Norway campaign:

1. 24th April 1940 - Ju 52/3m SE+IA pilot Ernst Weible, radio operator Alfred Schmittka, force-landed Vörlesee at 19:00 due to fuel shortage after air landing troops.

2. 14th May 1940 - Ju 52/3m VK+BL pilot Ernst Weible, radio operator Alfred Schmittka, landed Stavanger at 17:37 with engine damage due to severe icing after transporting supplies.

3. 7th June 1940 Ju 52/3m RM+AC pilot Ernst Weible, radio operator Alfred Schmittka, crash-landed on island in Eelsfjord at 20:45 having been hit in the fuel tank while carrying Fallschirmjäger to Narvik. All were rescued by seaplane the following day. I have several photos of this incident, which have been shared previously but wondered if there is anything new to find!

4. 4th October 1940 Ju 52/3m RP+AY pilot Ernst Weible, radio operator Alfred Schmittka, landed Vlissingen at 16:35 having been hit by machine-gun fire from ships, which injured the flight engineer.

All help very welcome.
