4/KG40 : Ofw. Werner Neuenfeldt and crew 1944

[zorglub]

Hello gentlemen ,

This bomber pilot was shot down two times over France in summer 1944 flying He177s .
His father was Otto Neuenfeldt , he was from Stradmin / Kolberg.
As I do not speak and read german , could a nice fellow help me : I would like to trace him or his relatives to get wartime testimonies and pictures . At least one of his He 177 has been located.

Thank you ,

Zorglub

As you probably know, I was in touch with 2 from his crew but not Neuenfeldt

[zorglub]

Yes Chris but you never told me who they were , and which documentation you have from them. I don't even think you will share anything graciously , so ...

We'll dig next near on Neuenfeldt's He177 ( 12/13 June 1944 ) , maybe you'll have pictures , maybe not .

If you had asked, I might have considered helping but I am afraid after what you have written, I am not inclined to help. I suggest you now purchase my book 'Sea Eagles 2'

Some things never change -do they Mr Goss ?

BC (don't worry I know your real name)

My input to this forum & aviation history in general speaks for itself & if you have a problem with this or with something that apparently upset you personally 30 years ago, so be it. I would prefer you not use this forum to intimate or make such comments.

I have nothing more to say on this matter apart from if one asks, one normally gets

[ClinA-78]

Interesting for us too... perhaps you may share/explain your research (of course, not revealing your pinpointing) - just for curiosity?

Best regards

[Andy Saunders]

I do not wish to fan any flames in this matter - au contraire.

In fact, I wanted to say that the unfortunate comments directed at Chris Goss are entirely uncalled for on this forum where Chris is one of the stalwarts, always willing to help and advise - both on and off the forum.

As a friend and colleague I wish to offer my support to Chris and suggest that BC withdraws his remark or withdraws from the forum.

[Peter Cornwell]

I endorse Andy Saunders' comments whole-heartedly. There are a number of 'expert' members of this forum normally prepared to help and assist others less-knowledgable by sharing the fruits of their research. It is an important aspect in the success of TOCH as a definitive source of good reliable information but is generally a 'one-way street'. As we all must surely know, such research is usually the result of years of delving into archives (many of them abroad) and prolonged correspondence with veterans and/or eye-witnesses (most of them now long gone) and represents a significant investment in time, effort, and yes - money. So why anyone should expect such information to be simply posted on request is breath-taking in its conceit. So we should not be too surprised (or disgruntled) when an appeal for information falls on deaf ears in future and be grateful when we do get the information that we seek.

Hi,
I think a hefty vote of thanks to Chris is in order for the time and effort he puts in, not only this forum, but also to the excellent books and articles he produces ( this should go to many others on this forum too )

Cheers
