Luftwaffe Claim 12th May 1940

Trying to find out the names of the two pilots who shot down the two 235 Sqn Blenheims on 12 May at 07.55 hours.
One was from II./JG27 the other II./JG27

Many Thanks

Andy Bird

Have you checked After The Battle's The Battle Of France by Peter Cornwall or Tony Wood's claims list?

Re: Luftwaffe Claim 12th May 1940

In Tony Wood's list you find 5 claims of a Blenheim N. of Rotterdam, by:
  • Fw Karl-Heinz Bendert
  • Lt Wilhelm Wiesinger
  • Lt Hermann Kugler
  • Uffz Arthur Schacht
  • Fw Fritz Reckel
all from 4./JG27, for all their first claim.

As so often serious overclaiming, so instead of 5 only 2 Blenheims shot down. Therefore impossible to determine which two of these were the ones that really could have claimed.

Regards, Pieter
