Interesting fate of Bf110E-2's of 1./SKG 210 photo.

[Evgeny Velichko]

Also: I found a fate of 2 Bf110E-2/Trop's, captured on well known serie of pictures in flight.

It is beleived it shows summer 1941 flight over Ostfront, consist of:
Unknown (photographer), S9+EH, S9+GH, S9+FH.

Theese images are taken from many different books or from Internet:
Image 1
Image 2
Image 3
Image 4
Image 5

Also, I beleive "Bf110 flight", captioned on page 28 of Squadron-Signal "Zerstorer in action" are not Bf110C-4/B (modification I beleive never existed) as noted, but are the same I./SKG 210 in-flight photo, from the serie mentioned above.

From John Vasco's losslist:

28-07-41:
Bf 110 E-2, S9+EH, 4443.
Fw. Heinrich Kücke (KiA), Uffz. Johann Guse (KiA).

Bf 110 E-2, S9+GH, 4465.
Uffz. Arthur Luttringer (KiA),Gefr. Wilhelm Keim (PoW),

About 28.07.1941 action:

Group of MiG-3's of 401 iap claimed 3 Bf110 shot down, last - shred between 3 pilots (actual Bf110 losses were only 2):

28.07.1941 08:45 Ml.Ltn. Tzibenko Personal 1 Bf-110 401 iap MiG-3

03-08-41
Bf 110 E-2, S9+FH, 4452.
Fw. Gerhard Saretzki, Ogefr. Heinz Schulte.
Shot down on combat mission. Both crewmen returned to unit. Pridnepowskaja.

-------------
So, interestingly, all 3 captured Bf110 on images were shot down in very short period one after another.

I will ask some claims about 03-08-41.
