Hello.

I would like to know (and where I can find them) the German Losses during the attack of the city of York, the night of 28th to 29th april 1942.

By advance thank you.

Many,

Do217 6/KG2 crew of Ltn Muhlen shot down near Malton Yorks 3 POW (one wounded) and one dead, Ju88 of 1/KFG106 shot down south of York pilot Ltn Boy killed with three baled out POW, He111 of 10/KG4 believed shot down off the Dutch coast crew of Hpt. Hennings St.Kap. missing, and Ju88 of 11/KG77 crew of Ltn Korfer shot down 80 milles east of Whitby. The Ju88 of Ltn Lempp of 3(F)/123 is shown as missing on 28-4-42 but I am not certain if this was connected to the York raid
From the luftwaffe QM's lists, also Vol 2 of the KG2 history by Ulf Balke, and The Blitz Then and Now vol 3,

Regards

Hi Brian

Anything for the He111 claimed by Hurricane/Havoc combination on night of 30 April/1 May - apparently crashed into sea?

Cheers

Bonjour.

Thanks for the 2 Brian for the answers

the Free French W/O Y. Mahe shot down effectively the Ju88 of 1/KFG106 but he has written in his Combat report: "I claim the Ju 88 destroyed and the HE111 as damaged or probaly destroyed being fully convinced that the HE 111 could not have reached home" and little before: "Both combats took place with moon behind me making definitive identification difficult, and was also surprised not to have been fired at when approaching"

The pilot was invited to the city hall of York for the facts. The newspapers had related the meeting. During the first or the second week of May the French flag was on the top of the city hall of York.

My question with many ? ? ? is for the second bomber.

Thank you again for all.
