Oblt. Baagoe
Good evening,

Oblt. Baagoe was shot down and killed on 14-05-1941 during a low level attack on AA-positions on Crete. Does anyone knows the name of his bf who also was killed? I have 2 sources, but they give a different name and a search on both names in the VDK database returns nothing:

1) Krackers Luftwaffe Archive gives the name of the bf as a Ofw. Bäcker.
2) Byron T. Book: Die Deutsche Luftwaffe in Griechenland says the name was a Fw. Daniël Böcher.

Kind regards,

Dirk

Re: Oblt. Baagoe
Guys

Has anyone (Matti?) the WNr for the two Bf 110 lost that day from II./ZG 26?

It is very unfortunate that Shores/Cull/Malizia never realised the importance of that when writing the Greece-Crete/Malta triology.

Cheers
Stig

Re: Oblt. Baagoe
Byron,

My info comes from the NVM. The actual reason for the loss was not always known when writing the report. "Second opinion" from the enemy side was missing.

One of the merits of this forum is that we can add and correct war-time information and that way make the history more accurate. Thanks for correction.

Matti
