KG 26 11.9.1940
Hello,
In the book: Achtung-Torpedos los! (R.Schmidt) in the list of losses are not divided individual crews.
BoB book then and now, also not complete crews.
I am interested in the names of the crews shot down on September 11, 1940:
2./KG 26, He 111H-3 W.Nr.3215, 1H + JK
and 5./KG 26, He 111H-3 W.Nr. 6903, 1H + IN.
Thank you very much for your help.
Regards Tony

Re: KG 26 11.9.1940
Hello,
the correct name will be Gefr.Rudolf ENDRICH.
A member of the crew He 111H-3 (1H + JK) W.Nr.3215 from 2./KG 26 was to be a war reporter Sdfhr. Wilhelm Trapp (wounded that day). Can anyone please confirm this information ??
Thank you very much
Tony

Re: KG 26 11.9.1940
Tony,

The NVM has Endrich, but EM list has Entrich. How do you know that Endrich is correct?

Thanks for info on Trapp. There is a NVM of his wounding but that has no info on his aircraft or location, only that he was in I./KG 26. How do you know that he was just in this He 111?

Matti

The code in the GQM loss return +JK was corrected on 14 Sep 1940: Ändere Kennzeichen in 1H+IK.

Re: KG 26 11.9.1940
Gentlemen, thank you all very much for your answers.
The name Rudolf ENDRICH is mentioned in the book: Achtung-Torpedos los! (R.Schmidt)
That Wilhelm Trapp was a member of the crew of He 111H-3 (1H + JK) W.Nr.3215 states: Christer Bergström - The Battle of Britain p. 208.
Thanks again to everyone
Regards Tony
