He-177 losses , 12/13 June 1944

[Brian Bines]

From what I thoght Neuenfeldt and crew were 4/KG40 while Henninger and Schlegel were 6/KG40. Neither of these two apppear in the NVM for Neuenfeldts shooting down on 9-7-44 which I thought was also the same crew who baled out uninjured ( Sea eagles vol 2 ) on 13-6-44.

Hello Brian,

For the 8.june plane I hv 550083 or 550283, are 100 % about the 550083 ??

Noted F8+MP for the code, a plane of the 6. staffeln but manned by crew of the second ?? 1 reported to hv returned safe...

The 2 who bailed-out on 13.juni were quote as severely wound , so could hv some doubt that they were on the crashed plane of july...

Hi Brian and Zorglub

I'm open to correction. I have no prime source.

Cheers

Remi,

The NVM I have has no code but has 083 added in writing which seems to link to w.n. 550083 from the Griehl/Dressel he 177 book.


Brian,

I think we are all open to suggestion on some of these losses with a morning and evening raid on some individual dates plus some of the NVM's have codes and werk nummers while some do not and some crews operating in other staffel. I also thought there was no NVM for Ofw Neuenfeldt on the 13th because his crew baled put without injury.
Like you I will modify any of my notes if further evidece comes up,

All the Best

Gentlemen

If you wait a few months, I should be able to answer this query. Problem is that the NVMs for this time were confused and had very little in the way of aircraft details. I only found out the loss when contacting this crew who were shot down later

Hello Chris ,

Have you been in touch with Ofw Werner Neuenfeld , is he still alive ?
I think I have pinpointed his He177 crash-site of 13 June 1944 south Fecamp . Probably later this year I'll find some airplane pieces there .

No I have not but I have with 2 of his crew if I remember correctly
