Brian,
KG4 losses for this raid were covered by Peter following your thread dated 31-3-2010, is this another one or is the date correct there were more KG4 losses a week later, All the Best Brian Bines |

Re: He111 2./KG4 FTR 18/19 June 1940
Hi Brian
The 2./KG4 loss, as far as I am aware, FTR from a sortie to Middlesborough (whereas the other losses you mention were as a result of raids over East Anglia). It seems that it to fell to the combined forces of two Spitfires, AA fire and a barrage balloon cable!! Cheers Brian PS: Did you notice my other recent request for details of He111 and Ju87 claimed by a Hampden on the night of 12/13 June 1940? Any ideas? |

Brian,
there was no 2./KG4 loss in this night. One He 111 of I./KG4 returned damaged in 60% after being hit by flak over East England. Regards Robert |

Re: He111 2./KG4 FTR 18/19 June 1940
And the He 111 bomber claimed in the night of 12/13.6.40 was from 2./KGr.126. It crash-landed and was damaged in 90%.
A claim for Ju 87 is a complete nonsence. Robert |

Re: He111 2./KG4 FTR 18/19 June 1940
Further to the information on the loss of Stab KG4 on 20th June 1940, I can add that the Heinkel He111 crashed at Winkel, Netherlands at 3.00am. Uffz. Bernhard Zimmer (Bm) (Born: 31.01.1917) was hit by the attacking RAF night-fighter and was killed. He is now buried at Ysselsteyn, Netherlands, CW-12-276.
