Fernnachtjagd effort 12-13 December 1940?

[Theo Boiten]

Dear all,

Can someone check the Fernnachtjagd effort for 12-13 December 1940 for me? I can't find any details in the Tagesmeldungen for December 1940 ..

Cheers and thanks, Theo

I have been through all I have and there is nothing at all specific

Thanks for checking Chris -reason for asking was that Fw. Giessübel of 2./NJG2 in Do17 R4+GK made a force-landing at Antwerpen airfield late in the evening of 12 December. This however may concern a non-ops flight.

Cheers, Theo

FB says Feindflug taking off from Gilze at 1825hrs and landing Antwerp 2125hrs. Usually in his FB he mentions what the mission was but in this case just Notlandung wegen Zerst.... It would appear that damage was minimal as it is not recorded

Yep I have his Flugbuch too, that's the source of the incident. Cheers, Theo
